03:43You are constantly showing us pictures
03:45of how the kites are made.
03:47Because this is also an art.
03:49Earlier, kites were made like this.
03:51But now, like the Chinese kites,
03:53there are other kites as well.
03:55You can see how the traditional kites
03:57are made.
03:59What is your name?
04:00How long have you been doing this?
04:02My name is Ramesh.
04:03I have been doing this for 30 years.
04:05How are the kites made?
04:07What is used?
04:08What is the thread?
04:09Tell us about that.
04:10The thread is our traditional thread.
04:12Original thread.
04:14Yes.

04:32There is no damage to the thread.
04:34The thread that is made is special.
04:37They say that the traditional thread is special.
04:39The old man was telling us that
04:41the Chinese thread is still being sold.
04:43But people are saying that
04:45the thread should not be used
04:46because it is harmful.
04:47Yes, it is harmful.
04:48It is harmful to the birds.
04:50I have been in this business for 45 years.
04:52I don't do this work.
04:54I just check.
04:55You check the quality of the thread.
04:57Yes.

05:01It takes an hour to an hour and a half.
05:04Yes.
05:05How many artisans work here?
05:07Do they work day and night?
05:08We are old artisans.
05:10We don't keep new threads.
05:12Because they don't know how to do it.
05:14Which method is old?
05:15It is old.
05:16I have been working here for 45 years.
05:17People make the thread with the traditional thread
05:20or with a different material?
05:22People buy the thread with the traditional thread.
05:24They say that it is harmful.
05:26But the thread is made of cotton.
05:29It is not harmful.
05:31It doesn't break.
05:33It doesn't break.
05:35It doesn't break.
05:36Some days, it breaks.
05:38It breaks.
05:40It doesn't break.
05:41It breaks.
05:42I will show you the thread again.
05:44You can see how it is made.
05:46The thread is made with the traditional thread.
05:49Because it is the festival of Lodhi.
05:51And it is also the festival of Maggi.
05:53On Makar Sankranti and Lodhi,
05:55people fly kites all over the country.
05:57They fly kites during Basant Panchami.
06:00So, this is the season of kites.
06:03People come from far to buy kites.
06:06You can see how the thread is made with the traditional thread.
06:09It is ready.
06:10So, this is the ground of Ludhiana.
06:12This is a 12-string thread.
06:14There is also a 9-string thread.
06:16The shopkeepers have claimed that it breaks the Chinese thread.
06:19People have also been appealed not to use the Chinese thread.
06:22Because it is not only harmful for the human body,
06:25but also for the birds that fly in the sky.
