Colourful and fancy kites in all shapes and sizes filled the sky today as the city witnessed its first-ever 'International Kite festival.'

Bengaluru-based V K Rao and his 10-member team taught the spectators the basics of kite flying, on the second day of the 10-day 'Coimbatore Vizha.'

Kites painted the sky in vibrant hues at Diamond City, RS Puram in the heart of the city.

'Sizzling Kite', 'Parachute Kite' and 'Eagle Kites' drew cheers from spectators.

The organisers, Young Indians, a part of CII, said the event will continue for tomorrow as to generate more enthusiasm among people who had gathered in large numbers to enjoy the sight.
 

Some spectators said earlier they had to go to all the way to Hyderabad or Ahmedabad to witness such an event, and thanked the organisers for bringing the kite festival here.
