Kite Museum, Ahmedabad Overview
Kite Museum, housed on the premises of Sanskar Kendra in Paldi, Ahmedabad, was conceived and created by Bhanubhai Shah. Designed by the renowned architect Le Corbusier in 1954, the museum displays about 125 uniquely crafted kites, including mirror-embroidered kites, block-print kites, and Japanese kites such as Rokkaku.
Besides housing statues of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Rao Bahadur Runchorelal Chotalall, this historical reserve of the tradition of kite flying consists of relics from the 200 and 1200 BC. This piece of nostalgia gives way to witnessing kites made of an array of materials such as paper, cotton, bamboo and even nylon.
