Makar Sankrant, the kite flying day in India, falls on January 14^th of each year. You can see hundreds of people flying kites all day, engaging in kite fights, and just having fun.

I love kites, I am gonna go fly one tomorrow (no puns)

If you're interested, I ran across The Japanese Kite Collection, which isn't related to Planet Kite, but has some nice descriptions, links and images.

Very eclectic range of kites, hama7 - I was unaware of underwater kiting - from Lebanon, no less.
