Abstract
Kite flying has been one of the major cultural activities
for the people of the Subcontinent. The paper elaborates
the art of dor making in the kite flying culture of the
Punjab. It discusses that how the changing mode of kite
flying in the Subcontinent contributed to the development
of the tradition of dor making. It describes the materials
and processes involved in dor making and the context in
which the tradition thrived and then faded away. The
study maintains that after the division of India into
princely states, it was the competitive environment that
was responsible for the development of dor making as an
expertise.
