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.
As mentioned earlier, there's more kite-making on this site than you can poke a stick at :-)
Want to know the most convenient way of using it all?

It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled step-by-step. They fly hundreds of feet up for hours on end. Woohoo!
