Kite Business Sees Increased Demand as Dashain Festival Approaches

Kathmandu. With the beginning of Ashwin, the time for trading goods consumed during Dashain has arrived in the market. Besides food grains and clothing, kites, which have high demand during the Dashain-Tihar period, have also started appearing in the market.

Colorful kites, reels, and threads are displayed for sale in various markets of the Kathmandu Valley. The hustle and bustle of people inquiring about prices and making purchases can be seen at kite shops. Due to the old tradition of flying kites with family and friends during Dashain, the demand for kites increases during this time.
