Why Basant Panchami festival is losing its value ?

Most of the festivals tend to lose their value if people do not take effective steps to keep them alive. Basant Panchami which happens to be one of the biggest celebrations in North India is losing its ground because of the loss of value for nature.

People seem to be endlessly involved in their personal lives and don’t want to continue the traditional practices of kite flying. FLY360 is one such association of like-minded people who aim to restore this activity and create the same joyous aura.

This association recognizes the thrill associated with kite flying and how people relive the most joyful events with their friends and family. They not only manage to pull off an entire kite flying competition but aim to preserve this sport. FLY360 has been engaged with people in different events to make their experience bigger and better.

Kite flying has recently found a serious low because of a decline in urban people who carry forward this tradition. A lot of people consider the core values encircling this festival as meaningless. Kite flying which is a major tradition is being kept in its raw form only in rural areas.

Holidays are a mere source of enjoying the day with the family doing activities. However, holidays should also be used to instill traditional values in children and indulge in practices that enlighten them about cultural practices.

Such activities also instill family values and add fun to an otherwise boring life. Children look up to festive occasions to celebrate with their friends. However, lack of enthusiasm can be a major turn off from celebrations.

FLY360 incorporates 2 major services which can help in fostering traditional practices and enthusiastically relive them.
