HISTORY about Kite Flying & Basant Festival ↴
In Pakistan, #KiteFlying is often known as #Gudi-Bazi or #Patang-bazi. Although kite flying is a popular #ritual for the celebration of spring festival known as #Jashn-e-Baharaan (lit. Spring Festival) or Basant, kites are flown throughout the year.

#Amritsar, #Lahore, and #Kasur are the traditional areas where kite flying festivals are held.
A popular #BasantMela is held in #Lahore (see Festivals of Lahore). However, the festival has also been traditionally celebrated in areas such as #Sialkot, #Gujranwala and #Gurdaspur.

The #Basant Kite Festival has been a historic spring time kite flying event during the #BasantPanchami festival in the #Punjab region in India and Pakistan.
Yellow outfits are worn on Basant (Rakhi Vijan))
It falls on Basant, also called Basant #Panchami.
According to the Punjabi calendar it is held on the fifth day of lunar month of Magha (in late January or early February) marking the start of spring.

Kite fighting is a very popular pastime all around Pakistan, but mostly in urban centers across the country (especially Lahore).
The kite fights are at their highest during the spring celebrations and the fighters enjoy competing with rivals to cut-loose the string of the others kite, this is popularly known as "#Pecha".

During the #spring #festival, kite flying competitions are held across the country and the skies are colored with kites. As people cut-loose an opponents kite, shouts of 'Bo kata' ring through the air. They reclaim the kites, after they have been cut-loose, by running after them.

This is a popular ritual especially among the youth (similar to scenes depicted in the Kite Runner which is based in neighboring Afghanistan).

Kites and strings are a big business in the country and many types of strings are used: glass-coated strings, metal strings and tandi. However, kite flying was banned in #Punjab due to motorcyclist deaths caused by glass-coated or metal kite-strings.

#Kup, #Patang, #Guda, and #Nakhlaoo are some of the kites used. They vary in balance, weight and speed.

What is #Kite?
Answer: A kite is a tethered heavier-than-air craft with wing surfaces that react against the air to create lift and drag.
The finest #Chinese #kites are made from split #bamboo (usually golden bamboo), covered with silk, and hand painted.
