The two leaders inaugurated the festival by flying kites, symbolising the strong diplomatic relations and friendship between India and Germany. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi also attended the event.
The Prime Minister and the German Chancellor visited a specially designed replica that showcases the architectural heritage of Ahmedabad's traditional Pols and Havelis.
According to the Gujarat government, 'Uttarayan' is more than a kite-flying event; it is a celebration deeply rooted in Gujarat's cultural identity. As part of the heritage walkway, a kite museum and an iconic photo wall have been created. The dignitaries received detailed insights into kites from various states, crafted from different materials and using various techniques. They also witnessed live demonstrations by skilled artisans showcasing the art of kite-making.
