LED Kites Over the Sabarmati
A Gujarat Day celebration at the Sabarmati Riverfront, flown after sunset with custom-built LED night kites and 15 professional flyers.
For Gujarat Day, FLY360 flew custom-engineered LED night kites over the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad, with 15 professional flyers and more than half a dozen illuminated kites in the air at once. Night kites use lightweight waterproof fabric and carbon spars so they can carry battery-powered LEDs in the lighter evening wind.
Gujarat Day marks the state’s foundation on 1 May. To mark the occasion, the government organised a celebration in Ahmedabad at the Sabarmati Riverfront, and after sunset the sky was handed over to illuminated kites.
How it was done
Why Night Kites Are Harder Than Day Kites
Built for evening wind
Wind usually drops as the sun sets, which makes flying a large kite carrying battery-powered LEDs genuinely difficult. These kites are engineered for exactly that window.
Lightweight waterproof fabric
A special lightweight, waterproof sail keeps the loaded weight low enough to stay airborne in light evening air.
Carbon ferrite spars
Expensive, durable and very light spars carry the LED payload without adding the weight ordinary spars would.
Flown as a team
15 professional flyers from across India put more than half a dozen LED kites into the sky together.
The result
A Civic Celebration People Looked Up At
Custom LED kites were designed specifically for the Gujarat Day celebration and flown through the evening programme, giving the riverfront crowd a spectacle that needed no fireworks, produced no noise and no smoke, and photographed beautifully against the dark sky.
The same format is available for state occasions, municipal festivals, tourism events and private celebrations.
