   • 2008, Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies, Penguin 2015, p. 53:

     Kalua was a man of unusual height and powerful build: in any fair, festival or mela, he could always be spotted towering above the crowd—even the jugglers on stilts were usually not so tall as he.

   • 2011, Deepika Phukan, translating Arupa Patangia Kalita, The Story of Felanee:

     Every year there was a mela in the small village where Jutimala lived and Khitish would send three workers to set up a stall there.
