Check out the colorful festival that is Uttarayan, or International Kite Day, in the Indian state of Gujarati!

Some communities take advantage of all the visitors to have special shows of dancing and music. |
So people start flying their kites while it is still dark, and they fly kites all day long, and many of them keep flying them until well after sunset! When it is dark, many people fly bright white kites and/or kites with strings of bright lanterns leading down to the rooftop.

The city of Ahmedabad attracts master kite builders who show off special unique kite designs and master kite fliers who impress the crowds with their skills. People come from all over the world, from Malaysia to Indonesia, from China to Japan, from Italy to the United States.
Rasulbhai Rahimbhai is a master kite builder who strings along hundreds of kites on a single string! Crazy!
