Kite Flying Festival 2017 in Sydney

Uttarayan is celebrated when winter begins to turn into summer in India. Gujarati people celebrate Uttarayan by flying kites. The string of the kite contains abrasives to cut down other people’s kites. In Gujarat from December through to Makara Sankranti people celebrate Uttarayan.  During the celebration sky will be nearly covered with flying kites.

In Australian capital cities with sizable Gujarati population, the community   organize kite competition between people where all compete with each other.

The symbolism of this festival is to show the awakening of the Gods from their deep sleep. Through India’s history, it is said that India created the tradition of kite flying due to the kings and Royalties later followed by Nawabs who found the sport entertaining and as a way to display their skills and power. It began as being a sport for kings, but over time, as the sport became popular, it began to reach the masses.
