Kites typically consist of one or more spars to which a paper or [[Textile|fabric]] sail is attached. Although some, such as [[foil kite]]s, have no spars at all. Classic kites use [[bamboo]], [[rattan]], or some other strong but flexible [[wood]] for the spars, paper or light fabrics such as [[silk]] for the sails, and are flown on string or twine. Modern kites use synthetic materials, such as [[ripstop nylon]] or more exotic fabrics for the sails, [[fibreglass]] or [[Graphite-reinforced plastic|carbon fibre]] for the spars and [[dacron]] or [[dyneema]] for the kite lines.

Kites can be designed with many different shapes, forms, and sizes. They can take the form of flat geometric designs, boxes and other three-dimensional forms, or modern sparless inflatable designs. Kites flown by children are often simple [[kite (geometry)|geometric]] forms (for example, the diamond). In Asia, children fly dried symmetrical leaves on sewing thread and sled-style kites made from sheets of folded writing paper.
Designs often emulate flying insects, birds, and other beasts, both real and mythical. The finest Chinese kites are made from split bamboo (usually golden bamboo), covered with silk, and hand painted. On larger kites, clever hinges and latches allow the kite to be disassembled and compactly folded for storage or transport. Cheaper mass-produced kites are often made from printed [[polyester]] rather than silk.
Tails are used for some single-line kite designs to keep the kite's nose pointing into the wind. Spinners and spinsocks can be attached to the flying line for visual effect. There are rotating wind socks which spin like a [[turbine]]. On large display kites these tails, spinners and spinsocks can be 50 feet (15 m) long or more.
Modern acrobatic kites use two or four lines to allow fine control of the kite's angle to the wind. Traction kites may have an additional line to de-power the kite and quick-release mechanisms to disengage flyer and kite in an emergency.

Kites are popular during the [[India]]n festival of [[Makar Sankranti]]. This spring festival is celebrated generally during mid of January, in accordance with the Indian calender, with millions of people flying kites all over northern India. The states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Gujarat, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Punjab etc are notable for their kite fighting festivals. Kite flying in Hyderabad starts a month before the official kite flying festival (Sankranthi). The thread used to fly kites is known as 'Manjaa'. Highly maneuverable single-string paper and bamboo kites are flown from the rooftops while using line friction in an attempt to cut each other's kite lines, either by letting the line loose at high speed or by pulling the line in a fast and repeated manner. Kite flying/fighting is an important part of other celebrations, including [[Republic Day]], Independence Day, [[Raksha Bandhan]], and [[Janmashtami]]. An international kite festival is held every year before [[Uttarayan]] for three days in [[Vadodara]], [[Surat]] and [[Ahmedabad]]. People start flying kites early in the morning and continue until the evening. The kite is known as 'Patang' in India. People fly kites in [[India|Indian]] [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] on occasion of Lohri (Punjabi name for Makar Sankranti) and Basant Punchami.
