International Kite Festival Gujarat

International Kite Festival

During the middle of January, the city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat break into a riot of colors as the International Kite Festival sets in. Kites of all shapes, sizes and hues cover up the expanse of the sky making for a rare spectacle.

The Myth Behind International Kite Festival
In fact, the international Kite Festival marks the end of the winter. Popular believe goes that during this time, the Gods who were asleep for the last six months, wake up and the thresholds of the heaven are opened. The faith translates into festivities one of its kind.

Celebration of International Kite Festival
The celebration inaugurates on 13 January every year and continues for 3 consecutive days from dawn to dusk. Days of preparation go into making the kites of every conceivable shape and size. The kite-lines are sharpened with mixtures of glue, ground glass and many more elements. The focus of the contest remains cutting the kite lines of others and thus emerging triumphant. Extensive researches and the innovative formulas and the consequent rivalry would hold anyone by surprise. The ear rending 'woh-katta' fills the air every time a kite-line is severed. The zeal and enthusiasm is unmatched.

A huge number of visitors pour into the city during the festival. Indianholiay.com, being a leading tour operator in India, arranges specially designed tour packages featuring International Kite Festival, which would give you charming insights into the life, style and culture of the old city.
