Remember the melas from childhood days - the fun, the games, the delicious chaat, goodies to buy - and imagine getting it all within the luxury of your home. This plus much more is what you can experience at the CRY-MakeMytrip mega mela which begins April 23 and will carry on till May 22.

This online Mega Mela, organised by MakeMyTrip, India’s largest e-commerce venture, to aid CRYChild Relief and You - allows you to indulge India’s most popular pleasures – cricket, Bollywood, Indian food and shopping. At the same time, it benefits the cause of Indian children. CRY believes that each individual has the power to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children and thus spread a message of hope and happiness...

With the aim at giving Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) across the world a taste of India and bring back the nostalgia, the event is the first-ever online festivity which celebrates the essential goodness of human beings.

You could visit the Chaat Corner which has mouthwatering, chat patta chaat recipes from the queen of Indian cuisine - Tarla Dalal. Besides sharing her recipes, Tarla Dalal has also signed five of her recipe books which will be auctioned on the online Mega Mela.

Sports personalities Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Mahesh Bhupathi, Kapil Dev and others have autographed sports memorabilia for auction at the mela. The stars of Bollywood have also signed memorabilia for auction.

There are many more exciting activities that participants can enjoy, like chatting with Indian celebrities, playing games online. You could also win a free return ticket to India or one of the five great holiday retreats in India.
