    The INTERNATIONAL KITE FESTIVAL show to be held at Panambur beach will be very a nice attraction for everyone who will be watching. The kite with different animated balloon shaped kites will be a great attraction. I wish the organizers all the very best and good luck to all those who will participate in the festival to be held on Saturday 21,2012 and Sunday 22,2012. The night kite-flying on Sunday 22,2012 should be worth watching event with 17 participants from 7 countries. Good pictures DAIJIWORLD. Hope to see more during and after the festival.
