Introduction:
Uttarayan, also known as the International Kite Festival, is one of the biggest festivals celebrated in India. It takes place on Makar Sankranti every year, Makar Sankranti, or Maghi as it is commonly called, being the day that the sun transitions into Makara (Capricorn). It beckons the end of the month of the winter solstice and the beginning of longer days. One of the very few festivals in India that follows the solar cycle instead of the lunar cycle, Makar Sankranti and therefore Uttarayan, falls on the fourteenth of January every year. The festival welcomes everyone to take part, irrespective of their religion, gender or nationality.
Most of our festivals are backed by religious beliefs and ceremonies. It is this pressure of religious beliefs that motivates man to participate in the festivals. There are changes in the atmosphere and that these changes are beneficial to human health and hence every person should expose himself maximum to the sunlight, because the sun’s rays are at an unique angle only on this day. People go to rivers, lakes, sea, beaches for bath and then go to temples or pilgrimages thereby exposing themselves to the sun. People give alms to the poor and give food and money in charity on this day.
To indulge maximum time in sunlight, people play games or flying kites from rooftops, grounds and beaches. In the eastern parts of the world, particularly in India, kite flyers indulge in kite fights. This is so exciting and engrossing that people forget their responsibilities and duties. People young and old, males and females, from all walks of life fly kites from their roof tops right from dawn to dusk. They have their meals on rooftops.
The Festival of the Winds is Australia’s biggest kite festival and is one of the biggest in the world. Kite flyers can show off their massive creations to the public who come for a day trip. The festival has been running for 40 years and takes place on Sydney’s world-famous Bondi Beach. There are various type, size and shapes of kite like The Shark, The Turtle, The Snakes, Many More To Come And our Very own Indian kites
