Ganesh Chaturthi in Pune is already the biggest festival I have ever experienced and adding kite flying to the celebrations is such a natural fit! In our housing society in Hadapsar, we organised a small kite event on Ganesh Chaturthi this year and it was enormously popular with children. Planning a bigger one next year!
What a wonderful innovation — Ganesh kites! The idea of having Ganpati bappa’s image on a kite soaring into the sky during the festival is both devotional and joyful. In Nagpur, the Ganesh festival atmosphere is electric and kite flying would add a beautiful vertical dimension to the celebrations. Will definitely contact Fly360 about organising this for our mandal!
This is a brilliant cultural innovation! Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations have been growing more elaborate each year but kite flying is a fresh idea that brings everyone outdoors and upward-looking. The Ganpati-themed custom kites photographed in the article are absolutely gorgeous — the craftsmanship is impressive.
Our Ganesh mandal in Kolhapur tried kite flying for the first time this year after reading this article. We had Fly360 create 50 custom Ganpati kites and distributed them to children on the fourth day of the festival. The response was overwhelming — people were moved to see their beloved deity’s image flying high in the sky. A beautiful new tradition has been born!
Every Ganesh Chaturthi I share this article in our mandal WhatsApp group as a reminder of what Fly360 started with Ganpati kites! It has now become a tradition in our area of Thane with multiple mandals participating. The community bonds formed around this shared sky-watching are exactly the social fabric our festivals are meant to create. Thank you Fly360 for this beautiful idea!
