Step-by-Step: How to Tie Perfect Tanaway (Bridle)
The balance of your gudda depends on accurate bridle tying (Tanaway). Follow these simple steps:
Puncturing the Holes
Using a toothpick or safety needle, gently puncture two small holes on each side of the vertical center bamboo spine (Tilla), just below the horizontal arch cross-stick.
Bottom Spine Holes
Puncture two more holes along the center vertical spine, approximately 2 to 3 inches above the kite's bottom tail flap.
Threading & Knotting
Thread a 3-foot length of strong cotton string through the top holes and knot securely. Thread the other end through the bottom holes and tie firmly.
Setting the Flight Angle
Pull the string loop tight. The apex knot should align with the kite's corner corner edge. Tying closer to the top gives faster lift in light winds; tying slightly lower provides heavy wind stability.
Night Flying in Lahore: Rooftop Tips
Night kite flying is an enchanting Lahore tradition. To maximize visibility and joy:
- Color Choice: Fly bright white or sunshine yellow guddas that catch moonlight and searchlights.
- Illumination: Install rooftop floodlights directed upwards or attach mini LED microlights to the kite spine.
- Rooftop Safety: Keep children away from ledges, ensure proper boundary railings, and never climb water tanks while flying.
