Delhi Lieutenant-Governor VK Saxena, addressing a gathering, highlighted the international kite festival during 'Makar Sankranti' as a tribute to Lord Rama, citing the connection to Lord Rama's childhood kite-flying activities with his brothers.
Organized by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the festival takes place at Baansera, a rejuvenated space transformed from a construction waste dump. A pavilion showcasing the history of kites, including their wartime use and cultural significance in India, stands as a prominent attraction.
