In Old Delhi, there are thousands of kite merchants who lay their shops every year. This time their shops are full with kites of different colours and sizes illustrating pictures of politicians, actors and cartoons.

According to Arif Mohammad, a shopkeeper, customers are buying kites with pictures of Modi, Salman, Chota Bheem, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Balveer, and Piku.

"Kites depicting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are not there yet. These kites come from Ahmedabad. Dye is used in these kites and a minimum of Rs 40,000 is spent on making it. But there are chances that kites with photos of Kejriwal might come in the market," a shopkeeper said.
