Kite Museum, Ahmedabad Overview
Housed in the premises of Sanskar Kendra in Paldi, Ahmedabad, Kite Museum was conceptualised and created by Bhanubhai Shah. Designed by the renowned architect Le Corbusier in 1954, the museum is an elaborate display of about 125 uniquely carved kites including mirror embroidered kites, block print kites and Japanese kites such as Rokuku.
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.
