Patang-flying is associated with the very popular Indian festival of Makar Sakranti and is celebrated on 14th January every year. In Pakistan, Gudi-Bazi or Patang-Bazi is a popular celebratory ritual during the Basant (spring) Festival. Gudiparan Bazi as they call it in Afghanistan also finds its famous mention in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner.
As is customary in these parts of the world, kite flying will accompanied by kite-fighting – a fun and exciting competition to be held as part of the festival. A number of kite stalls will enable people to ‘Buy-and-Fly’ instantly and kids can look forward to the Kite-building workshop between 9:30am and 11:30am.

‘There are many people, young and old alike, in the UAE, who would love to fly kites but don’t know where to buy them, and are sometimes hesitant to fly them solo’, says Managing Director of Tamquest Entertainment, Uttam Kumar. He continues – ‘I have one goal. This festival is intended for all those like-minded people to come together, find the kite of their choice and have fun by taking kite-flying “to new heights”’.
Kumar explains how the festival also serves as a Launchpad for new kite teams from the UAE, who are welcome to participate and display their creations.
