Mamallapuram to host Tamil Nadu International Kite Festival for the first time

A horse gallops across the sky. A chubby octopus follows suit. The elephant, who was waiting patiently on the ground, does not want to miss out on the fun and joins his friends. Merrily, they float over the Bay of Bengal.

Scenes like this, which may seem fictional, will come alive at the first edition of the Tamil Nadu International Kite Festival, where hundreds of vibrant kites in myriad shapes and sizes will dot the sky. The event will take place at the sun-drenched, sea-kissed TTDC Ocean View, spread across 14 acres. This gives the organisers enough space to mark out dedicated zones for the different segments of the event.
