Bali (local) Kite Festival 2010 in Bali, Indonesia

Really long time not visiting my own blog, I'm surprise that there're people visiting this blog ! Thank you very much!!! I feel so sorry that I didn't updated my blog.. So here it is my first post after months !

In July 23-25th 2010, there'll be Bali Kite Festival in Sanur Beach, Bali Island (province), Indonesia. Below are some photos from last year Bali Kite Festival

Traditional giant kites (4 meters in width and almost 10 meters in length) are made and flown competitively by teams from the villages (banjar) of Denpasar. The event is a seasonal religious festival intended to send a message to the Hindu Gods to create abundant crops and harvests. Bebean (fish-shaped), Janggan (bird-shaped) and Pecukan (leaf-shaped) are three traditional kites flown during this kite festival. The kites are flown by teams of 10 or more adult kitefliers. The Janggan form has a broad flowing cloth tail that can reach more than 10 meters in length !

A gamelan orchestra plays music throughout the festival. The festival attracts many visitors and international kite-fliers, along with many local spectators. 

What a great team building events for your groups to get involved in?
