Kite markets in the city are a riot of color with kites of all shapes and sizes adorning the bylanes.
"Normally, enthusiastic kite-lovers purchase fancy kites which have multiple designs or pictures of film stars. This year, we are observing, that many people are buying fancy kites just because they have Anna's picture on them. Kite manufacturers have also prepared kites bearing Anna's image in large numbers as the Gandhian has been in the news for the last few months.
