Today I went to photograph the International Kite Festival 2010 held at Mangalore’s Panambur beach. the Beach was crowded with thousands of people who gathered to see the numerous kites at the two-day international kite festival. The kites ranging from the giant to the small dotted the sky at the beach and featured plenty of attractive designs.
Professional kite flyers and amateurs alike are participating in this festival. The AWITA(Always In The Air) group headed by Nicolos Chorier from France, Maarteen van Hienen from Netherlands, and Karl Hongboton from UK, brought along their special kites. Giant kites, aerofoil kites, stunt kites, nylon-made kites, teddy bear kite, and penguin kite are being flown by this group of international kite fliers. This International Kite Festival 2010 was organized by Team Mangalore.
