Inside India’s Kite Festival: Colors, Culture & Competition

Every January 14th, the skies of Gujarat explode with color during Uttarayan, India’s biggest kite festival. Thousands of people gather on rooftops, launching bright kites into the air — some for fun, others for fierce competition. The goal? Cut your opponent’s string using manja (abrasive line). Music, food, and friendly rivalry fill the air as the day turns into a vibrant celebration. Want to join in? You’ll need a strong fighter kite, quick reflexes, and lots of string!
