Paitkar art, indigenous to Jharkhand, is startlingly vibrant and tells stories of the times, culture, music and traditions of the Paitkar community. The scroll painting is famous for its natural colours that are made and preserved using traditional methods without any chemicals. Dating back to the Gupta dynasty, this art form is in decline.

Jaipur has an old tradition of flying kites on Makar Sankranti. It is said that Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh loved the tradition of kite flying and brought it to Jaipur. Special kites made of cloth that were called ‘Tukkal’ were made for the royals who used to fly them from the palace terrace. Kite-flying later became a community event on Sakrant.
