The deft kite making process has been captured on video.
The two video presentations below present the art of kite making and also explore the idea of simple changes in kite making giving rise to different variations. These variations come by when kite makers explore the simple elements, paper and bamboo sticks, kite tails, decorations, etc to bring in novelty while keeping the principle of flight intact.
The kites in these video presentations have been created by the kite expert, Mr. Qureshi Md. Masood of King Kite Centre, Bandra, Mumbai, India.
