The Delhi Darwaza Kite Bazaar
Filming the Delhi Darwaza Patang Bazaar (Delhi Gate Kite Market).
I was invited by the "Entangled" film crew to join in as a still photographer as they prepared their documentary on Uttarayan.
Entangled is a story about different perspectives on an age-old tradition known as Uttarayan, the annual kite flying festival in India. On January 14th, the skies above Ahmedabad, Gujarat are a canopy of colour as over 4 million kites take to the air to celebrate the end of winter.
The filmmakers, Aditi Desai and Kai Fang, chose my Uttarayan photos for promoting their movie!
These are some of my photos following the film crew around Ahmedabad as they work hard at making "Entangled" - a documentary that aims to showcase the varied perspectives on this rich cultural tradition, while taking an eye-opening look at this highly competitive activity that is a far cry from what the rest of the world regards as the serene hobby of kite flying.
