Delhi Tourism recently organized the third season of its International Kite Flying Festival in the capital.

The festival was inaugurated by Somnath Bharti, Minister of Tourism, Law, Art & Culture and Administrative Reforms. A group of fans presented him with a huge AAP topi, which a laughing Bharti accepted, and posed for the shutterbugs. "Through this festival, we're able to recreate tradition and put it in contrast with the present generation's inclination towards everything high-tech. It's a sport that we want the youth to witness," said Sudhir Sobti, manager (PR & Publicity), Delhi Tourism.

The designs of the kites varied from mythology to nature to popular culture. Sari Priangorro from Indonesia said, "Instead of getting the traditional Indoseian kites, I chose to get more modern ones. Since everyone likes Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, I have them on my kites."
