kite flying

Anamika yearned for something that would help her break away from the shackles of the city, and one look at the land made her realise that this could be it. She spent time there, connecting with it.

About 2,023 volunteers associated with various NGOs have signed up with the programme, and they have collectively managed to save as many as 4,506 injured birds in the past two days.

Are you one of those few who are not too affected by the colourful festival of kites? Well, take a look at these beautiful pictures from across India that perfectly portray why you should be on your terrace enjoying the festival this year.

Thousands of birds, some endangered species included, are injured and maimed every year during kite flying festivals across India. This is the story of one man and his NGO, who are fighting to rescue and rehabilitate the helpless creatures and spread the message of compassion.
