The Balinese Kite Festival is a seasonal religious festival, which is intended to send a message to Hindu Gods to create abundant harvests and crops.

The major colors of the Balinese kites are black, red, white, and gold/yellow which represent the incarnations of the Hindu deities. Aproximately 1121 traditional kites are flown during the three day annual Festival.
