Team Mangalore is a Hobby Group of
Kite makers and Kite Flyers from the coastal town of Mangalore
in Karnataka, formed in 1998.
We are a group of like minded kite lovers. Having been fond
of kites since childhood, we decided to add wings to our childhood
dreams. Our ideas finally materialized in the form of kites
that soared up the open skies. Making kites of unique designs,
which depict the folklore and rich culture of India has been
our main objective. |
