International Kite Festival

  • 07 th January 14 th January

At a glance

The festival of Uttarayan is a uniquely Gujarati phenomenon, when the skies over most cities of the state fill with kites from before dawn until well after dark. The festival marks the days in the Hindu calendar when winter begins turning to summer, known as Makar Sankranti or Uttarayan. On what is usually a bright warm sunny day with brisk breezes to lift the kites aloft, across the state almost all normal activity is shut down and everyone takes to the rooftops and roadways to fly kites and compete with their neighbors.

Kites of all shapes and sizes are flown, and the main competition is to battle nearby kite-flyers to cut their strings and bring down their kites. For this, people find their favored kite-makers who prepare strong resilient kite bodies with springy bamboo frames and kite-paper stretched to exactly the right tension. Lastly, the kites are attached to a spool (or firkin) of manja, special kite-string coated with a mixture of glue and glass to be as sharp as possible for cutting strings of rival kites. Production of kites and kite supplies can be seen on the streets of Ahmedabad beginning in November, to get ready for Uttarayan, and nowhere more so than in Patang Bazaar, the special kite market that appears in the old city. For the week preceding the festival, it is open 24 hours a day for all kite lovers to stock up for the festivities.

Parents who normally find their children hard to get out of bed for school will find them setting the alarm for 5 am on 14th Jan., to get up and start flying kites in the ideal pre-dawn wind. The atmosphere is wonderfully festive, as whole families gather on the rooftop, special foods like laddoos , undhyu or surati jamun are prepared for eating over the course of the day, and friends and neighbors visit each other for group kite-flying fun. Often people look out for which of their friends has the optimum terrace for kite flying and many will congregate there. This leads to many social gatherings that would not otherwise occur, as one person’s brother’s friends meet their classmate’s cousins, because they have all gathered on the rooftop of the same mutual friend. People often find themselves marking time by Uttarayans: “I met you three Uttarayans ago, right?” is a not uncommon phrase. At night, kite fighters send up bright white kites to be seen in the darkness, and skilled flyers will send aloft their tukkals with strings of brightly lit lanterns in a long line leading back down to the rooftop. From early morning to late at night, Uttarayan provides lots of fun and beautiful sights to remember for a long time.

Uttarayan will be celebrated from 7th January to 14th January 2024 at Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad. This festival is known as Makar Sankranti in other parts of North India and Pongal in Tamil Nadu.

Kites are believed to have first arrived in India either through Muslim traders coming eastward through Persia or Buddhist pilgrims coming from China in search of sacred texts. Either way, they have a long history in the region. Over 1000 years ago, kites were mentioned in song by the composer Santnambe, and numerous classic miniature paintings of typical scenes in the area depict people flying kites. Since Gujarat is at the westernmost edge of India, it is one of the regions where Muslim and Hindu cultures have blended to a great degree in many aspects. Hence, the development of using kites, probably brought by Muslims, to celebrate Uttarayan, a Hindu festival. Still, no one knows exactly when this tradition began.

Though Uttarayan is originally a special day of the Hindu calendar, it is said that the idea of flying kites to celebrate the date was a concept that arrived with Muslims from Persia, and it has now transcended all religious boundaries. No matter what your background or beliefs, if you are in Gujarat in January, you will no doubt find yourself flying kites with everyone else. Visitors come from around India for the celebration, many Gujaratis who live outside the state choose this time to make their trip home, and international visitors have come from countless countries, including Japan, Italy, the UK, Canada, Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, the USA, Malaysia, Singapore, France, China, and many more.

What is the Kite Festival in Gujarat?

The kite festival in Gujarat is celebrated during Uttarayan, which is also referred to as Makar Sankranti in most parts of the country. The International Kite Festival is organised by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited and they have been doing this since 1989. Initially, it started as a way to introduce local culture to people in other states and the invites quickly started reaching other countries too!

On this day, people gather on the rooftops to fly kites together with their neighbours, friends and family members. The main kite festival in Gujarat is held in Ahmedabad, the capital city of the state. The event is not just about competitions though this is one of the most anticipated parts of the day. You will see kite parades of different foreign nations, local artisans displaying their craftsmanship, stalls that sell both national and international kites and traditional food stalls that will make your mouth water! 

That’s not all!

The tourism department leaves no stone unturned to make the day special for everyone who visits Ahmedabad. In the morning, the event begins with a small prayer, Surya namaskars by students as a greeting to the Sun God, and Rishikumars come over to read the Aditya Stuti. Then begins the fun! You get to see kites flying throughout the day and the whole sky looks like a splendid kaleidoscope. On the other hand, visitors can also take part in adventure activities and games that are arranged near the venue. When the sun finally starts to set, different cultural activities and performances will be organised before wrapping up the significant day. 

History of the International Kite Festival in India

The tradition of flying kites has been a part of Indian culture for a very long time. It is said that the ancient kings used to consider kite flying as a leisurely activity. However, things took a more serious turn. The royal rulers held kite flying competitions and invited the best masters who knew their way around the kites. They were instructed to defeat the neighbouring kingdom or opponent kingdom’s kite at any cost seeing how this was a matter of pride for them. There are accounts of Indian kings using vicious kite strings that were so sharp that they could cut throats in a snap!

The culture of flying kites slowly started to lose traction but the Persian Muslims who came to our country for trade reintroduced it.

The culture of flying kites slowly started to lose traction but the Persian Muslims who came to our country for trade reintroduced it. Also, the Chinese who arrived from Tibet brought colourful variations of kites in all shapes. 

The kite festival in Gujarat honours the tradition of kite flying and also sees the day as a celebration to welcome a new season. Keep reading to know more about Uttarayan, the significance of the festival, and how kites come into the picture. 

Significance of the Festive Day

Uttarayan or Makar Sankranti is the festival that marks the end of the winter season and the beginning of the warm summers. According to Hindu mythology, this is the day when the sun starts to move toward the northern hemisphere in the celestial plane. Uttarayana or Uttarayan means a journey toward the north. This festival signifies that the days are going to be longer and the weather will now be warmer. Let’s not assume that on the very next day of Makar Sankranti or Uttarayan, the summer begins and people will be sweating bullets!

The festival only marks the transition day and you are sure to experience a mildly warmer temperature and record longer days than the peak winters. 

So, why fly kites on Makar Sankranti? What is the need for the kite festival in Gujarat?

On Makar Sankranti, people thank the Sun God for his solar energy. It is one of the main resources that aids in the effective growth of crops, keeping the planet warm, and maintaining stable ecological and biological systems. 

The sun rays on Uttarayan are stronger and are said to have healing properties. Staying in the cold and freezing temperatures of winter can make people susceptible to skin conditions and illnesses. The warm breeze and the bright sun rays of Uttarayan can reverse the damage and also boost the innate strength of the immune system. What is the most fun way to expose ourselves to the sun’s rays?

Of course, flying kites! 

The kite festival in Gujarat was introduced as a way to boost tourism but the culture of flying kites has been around even before 1989.

On the occasion of the annual kite festival in Gujarat, you will see kites of various sizes, shapes, and designs. You can expect the people to fetch their kites and go to the rooftop a day prior! The shops bring the stocks of the best kites from November. The hunt for the strongest and the most resilient kites begins at least three months before Uttarayan and the markets always have eager customers. A week before the festival day, the famous kite shops of Ahmedabad are open 24/7! On the day of the kite festival, the locals frequent the shops and markets throughout the day to buy more new kites. This may be because they lost a kite to the opponent or they want to stock up the best ones so that they can fly them at a later day.

It is the perfect opportunity to improve cross-border business and establish a cordial relationship with foreign kite makers.
