Indonezia

The history of kites in Indonesia dates back several centuries. It is believed that the first kites were created in Indonesia in antiquity. Then they were used for various ceremonies and rituals, as well as for fun.

One of the versions of the emergence of kites in Indonesia is the legend of a young guy who tried to contact his beloved, who lived on the other side of the river. He created a kite, attached a note to it, and launched it into the sky. The kite reached the other side, where the girl found it, read the note and answered it.

Since then, kites in Indonesia have become popular entertainment and a symbol of love and connection. They were also used for catching fish, hunting birds, and monitoring the weather.

Nowadays, kites in Indonesia continue to be a popular pastime and hobby. They are produced in various shapes and sizes, from small to huge, including colorful and original designs. In addition, kites are also used in sporting events such as kite racing.
