The festival of Uttarayan marks the day when winter begins to turn into summer, according to the Indian calendar. It is the sign for farmers that the sun is back and that harvest season is approaching which is called Makara Sankranti. This day is considered to be one of the most important harvest day in India. Many cities in Gujarat organize kite competition between their citizens where the people all compete with each other. In this region of Gujarat and many other states, Uttarayan is such a huge celebration that it has become a public holiday in India for two days.[2] During the festival, local food such as Undhiyu (a mixed vegetable including yam and beans), sesame seed brittle and Jalebi is served to the crowds.[3][4] Days before the festival, the market is filled with participants buying their supplies. In 2012, the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat mentioned that the International Kite Festival in Gujarat was attempting to enter the Guinness World Records book due to the participation of 42 countries in it that year
KITE FESTIVAL
Who is a fan of Bear and Mole stories? If so, this book is ideal. One windy day, Bear and Mole decide to fly a kite. They don't just fly any kite. They build their own! They have to gather the materials, design their kite and put it all together. All goes well with the kite flying high in the air until a storm arrives! The wind is too strong and the string breaks, allowing the kite to fly away. But Bear and Mole don't want to lose their homemade kite, so they run after it and finally find it. Where? In a tree. If you've ever flown a kite, you know how easily a kite can get stuck in a tree. But Bear and Mole's kite was performing a useful job. It was serving as an umbrella, keeping the rain off of baby birds in their nest.
