Compared to last 3 years variety of kites this year were less. But the show was better organized this year. Thousands of families were there enjoying the International Kite Festival on Panambur beach. While the kites of different shapes and sizes flew high resembling the aspirations of the hands flying them, Panambur beach took a look of a gala fair.

To cater to the flowing crowd, several shops had come up. While some plush make-shift restaurants flaunted cozy couches served hot, creamy coffee, sandwiches and burgers. There were couple of ice cream stalls helping the crowd to beat the heat. Rest of the smaller shacks sold sugar cane juice, Gobi Manchurian, Kebab, biriyani and there was even a shop selling masala powders. Local puffed rice Churmuri and groundnut vendors were busy calling on their potential customers, making brisk business during the festival.

He informed that this edition comprises of a series of kites that are two metres wide and 3.8 metres long. The kites carry the faces of people close to him and have their favorite color. “The 25-metre tail is made of Indian cotton”, informed Otto.

Another ardent kite flier March Herzog, a member of Manja Club of France, had brought three kites one of which was a unique one captioned Revolution to the fest. This is Herzog’s third trip to the city and he says he likes the people here. With regard to flying kites in Mangalore skies, he opined ‘What is more important is the steady wind which is favorable for kite flying.’
