14 January - International Kite Festival in Gujarat, India
When a thousand kites fill up the clear skies of winter, it is no less than a sight to behold, and this can very well be experienced in Gujarat during the International Kite Festival. Attracting travellers and participants alike from different parts of the world, the festival takes place on the occasion of Uttarayan every year.
The International Kite Festival is celebrated on the occasion of Uttarayan, sending out a message of joy at a time when the winter season starts its transition toward the summers and farmers welcome the harvesting season.
As far as the International Kite Festival history is concerned, it is being organised in Gujarat since 1989 in the city of Ahmedabad. Starting on January 7 and ending on January 14, the biggest International Kite Festival attractions include flying of kites made in different shapes, sizes and colours.
