If you want to see kite-making in India, using traditional methods, please come to Hyderabad. These fighter kite designs come in a range of types and sizes. Paper quality varies too, so all these factors result in a price range from 5 up to 100 Rupees per kite - at my shop anyway.
We also provide threads and manjah (abrasive) for flying line. The last photo shows how we store the lines.
Don't miss your free download...
Could you do me just a small favor though?
Here's a page with reviews for that e-book, plus a sign-up form for my free monthly publication, "Tethered Flying". The e-book download becomes available once you sign up.
Thanks so much, and happy flying!

Hey - grab your free e-book first :-)
I'm referring to Simplest Dowel Kites, my popular kite-making download. It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled. Each kite is capable of flying hundreds of feet up for hours on end.
