​Hyderabad: Telangana State's second International Kite Festival scheduled to be held from January 12 to 17 in Hyderabad will see remote-controlled kites for the first time in the country.
Traditionally kites are flown with strings. But, remote-controlled flying kite is something revolutionary which is not witnessed much in India.
The joy of remote-controlled kite flying offers altogether a new experience according to Dr Geoffrey Fisher, Head of the Aga Khan Academy.
These kites will be flown at a special night flying curtain raiser event at People’s Plaza on January 12, he said.
KITE 2017 festival is organised for the cause of women's empowerment through girl-child education. It aims to raise the tourism profile and rich cultural heritage of Hyderabad as a ‘hidden jewel' of India by attracting renowned international kite flyers from 16 countries and 10 pan Indian clubs to Telangana State.
The KITE Festival (TIKF) is organised to profile the long-standing regional tradition of kite-flying and the unique culture, crafts, and cuisine of Telangana through an exciting festival programme for schools, children, families and kite-flying enthusiasts of all ages, according to Tourism Secretary B Venkatesham.
