Kite flying has been an old tradition of Independence Day in Delhi. The otherwise busy streets of Old Delhi roads are empty and people come out with their kites to participate in the event. From rooftops to streets and parks, you will see the colorful kites flying playfully decorating the sky. Healthy kite battles are drawn everywhere, all you need to do in the jump in with your kite.
Everyone should witness the Independence Day celebrations in Delhi at least once in their lifetime, if not for patriotic reasons, then go to see the city, which on this day has a different kind of charm. PM highlights the major events that took place in the year gone by, reminisces the leaders of the Freedom Struggle, acknowledging the strength of our army and the faith of the general public in the country.
Apart from the Red Fort, where all the major events happen, sneak into the by lanes of Delhi to see people celebrating in their own little ways, fly a kite with locals, bite into some of the special delicacies prepared by sweet shops for this day as you watch the numerous tri-colored kites take flight, and then maybe get yourself a souvenir to take home.
