The tradition of kite making and flying, known as “Patang” in local language, holds a significant place in traditional Indian culture. It is particularly celebrated during “Makara Sankranthi,” a festival that marks the arrival of spring in India. Kite making is a traditional craft practiced for centuries, especially in Ahmedabad, where it involves various communities, and families often set up small shops in their homes to sell kites of different shapes and designs. While Gujarat is the focal point of the kite festival, kite flying is also observed as a major festival in states like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The history of kite making in India dates back centuries, with mentions in literature dating as far back as the Mongol invasion era. During the Mughal period, kite flying gained popularity, with emperors patronizing kite competitions. Kites were not only recreational but also used for message conveyance, as depicted in Rajput and Mughal miniature paintings. The Nawabs of Oudh, particularly in Lucknow, played a significant role in promoting kite flying during the 18th century, known for their extravagant festivals and exquisite kites. Uttar Pradesh emerged as the kite capital of India, with cities like Lucknow and Bareilly becoming renowned centers for kite making.
