Kite shop in Mumbai


Every January my father and me made the trip to this kite shop in Mumbai. The whole street is filled with kites and shops selling kites. The kites and manjas overflow the shops into the streets, with vendors trying to entice customers to their shops. Ogling at the tons of kites made your head spin and you really had to know what kind of product you wanted to buy, more choices than what you have at a supermarket.


Here is the owner of the shop.
