A Patang, or paper kite, holds a special place in Indian culture, symbolizing joy, freedom, and togetherness. Flying Patangs is a cherished tradition, especially during festivals like Makar Sankranti (Uttarayan) in Gujarat, Kite Festival in Rajasthan, and Vishu in Kerala.

These vibrant kites, made of lightweight paper and bamboo, fill the skies with color and energy. The practice often involves friendly competitions, where kite flyers aim to cut the strings of rival kites using a specially coated thread known as Manjha or Manja.

Beyond recreation, Patang flying fosters community bonding, celebrates nature, and showcases India’s craftsmanship. The tradition is a blend of artistry and fun, loved by people of all ages across the country. Whether soaring high in the blue skies or fluttering against the wind, the Patang is more than just a kite—it’s a symbol of India’s festive spirit.
