Exploring urbanism and adaptive dwelling in the current age of megacities and modernising landscapes, this issue of Marg recasts the perception that a tent is just a simple fabric suspended from (or stretched across) a pole. Tracing human habitational spaces from the grand qanats and shamianas of the Mughals, Deccani sultans and Rajputs to the massive Kumbh Mela, this fascinating documentation of the complexity and variety of tentage explores impermanence in contemporary urbanism, and recontextualises popular narratives in nationalism, migration, architecture and social relations.
