The research for this paper was conducted in three stages, namely the literature review, primary data collection and secondary data collection. The literature review encompasses data sourced by searching with keywords related to the research topic and formulating it in terms of a scholarly interpretation. The primary data collection involved formulation data in form of visits to Mehrauli and interviews with stakeholders. The secondary data collection encompasses the literature study to further organize and create a framework for the primary data collected. The scope of this study was limited to the procession path of the festival in the precinct of Mehrauli. The limitation in this study was the enforcement of covid lockdowns, due to which data collection was affected but whenever during the two years of the pandemic i.e. 2020-2021 there were times when the world was open, research was conducted.
In conclusion, it was found that there needs to be support and aid from the government reaching the craftsmen and the artists. Social media could also be used as an effective tool to form an archive of the festival for future generations and we, as people need to create a discourse around this, come forward in these difficult times of the pandemic to create a better world.

Responding to the geographical, topographical and cultural diversity of the entire stretch, we have divided the stretch into three parts. The first part is from Gaumukh to Haridwar, the second part is from Muzaffarnagar to Katihar and the third part is from Malda to Ganga Sagar. Listing is done under three categories. They are Natural Heritage, Architectural Heritage and Intangible Heritage. Accordingly three teams are working to cover the three aspects of Cultural Heritage. Architectural Heritage Division of INTACH has been assigned with the work of listing the Architectural Heritage.

In this report we are documenting the built heritage of Meerut District. It is one of the districts of the first part of the stretch. The report includes the listing of heritage structures of 2 out of 3 tehsils of Meerut District. Though only Mawana Tehsil lies along the bank of river Ganga, Meerut Tehsil is also studied as it comprises the British Cantonment. Meerut city, the district headquarters, is a major landmark for the 1857 British Revolt, as this ‘First Battle of Independence’ started from here. A group of architects under the supervision of a Conservation Architect conducted the survey in July 2021, listing a total of 17 structures within the district, including 4 in Meerut tehsil and 13 in Mawana tehsil. The report includes a proper understanding of the various typologies, their evolution, architectural appreciation and a complete list of all the buildings.
