Hello Local Guides,
Here i'm share some information and photos of one of the most popular Festival celebrate in Gujarat.
" Kite Festival "
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.
@NareshDarji please share your photos.

Thanks for sharing @iDepp! I use to love flying my kite with my dad and sister as a kid. My favorite is the bright pink kite from the first picture.

Now the concept of kite that I have i.e. four sided shape, is eluded from my mind @iDepp & @NareshDarji.
Thanks for sharing different kites like Tiger kite, doll kite, ring kite etc etc.
Have a great time there.
