International Kite Festival 2024
Along with the start of Pongal celebrations, an international kite festival is held every year in the city of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat. This city was not chosen as the venue by chance, because Pongal celebrations originated here. Today, the festival is celebrated in other cities of Gujarat, but Ahmedabad remains the main venue for it.
Families, groups of friends, everyone from young to old come to the festival to see this spectacle. The beautiful view of the sky with hundreds of soaring kites is worth seeing during the day, and at night it becomes even more magical - the kites are illuminated from the inside and are connected with a single thread, thanks to which they form intricate figures.
There is even a kite museum in Ahmedabad, where you can learn a lot of fascinating information about this art form and the festival in general.
