The kite festival in Jaipur which is held every year in the
month of January is a one of its kind festival in India which
attracts the best kite flyers of the world to participate
in this unique festival and display their kite flying skills.
Jaipur's Polo Ground is the venue of this three-day mega festival.
Following the mega inaugural ceremony, Air Force helicopters
from high above the sky let loose bewildering variety of kites
of many shapes and colors to the utter delight of the viewing
public.
This three-day festival has two distinct segments - the kite
flying competition and the exhibition flying. In the kite
flying competition there is intense rivalry as there is much
at stake by way of trophies and awards. While in exhibition
flying, expert kite flyers from all over the world are provided
with an opportunity to display their unusual kite flying competency
and prowess.
On day 3 of the festival which happens to be the concluding
day of the festival, the venue shifts to the beautifully landscaped
royal turf of the majestic Umaid Bawan Palace. It is here
that the finals are held followed by a glittering farewell
and prize distribution ceremony.
The city of Jaipur itself is a riot of color, pomp and pageantry.
To a lifestyle that is a fanfare of festivities and celebrations.
To a specimen of architecture that is grand in style and intricate
in design. To a fantasy in color and stone. Carved out of
the desert, Jaipur is a magical city that encloses within
its walls all the color and charm of the exotic and romantic
land of Rajasthan. The city still retains its old world glory
and charm and it is in the backdrop of such a stupendous city
that the all important kite festival is held.
