Common card · No. 309068

Fighter kites are kites used for the sport of kite fighting. Traditionally, most are small, unstable single-line flat kites, where line tension alone is used for control. A key element is the manja, typically glass-coated cotton strands, used to cut down the line of others. Kite fighting is contested in many countries, but particularly in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, Chile and Brazil.
