4.5 Githi Patang

Githi is the patang paper grading, and 4.5 is a lot of kite. This is the one that sits high and steady over the mohalla and makes every smaller kite around it look busy. It needs wind with substance and a flyer who has held a pulling line before.

Patang costs more than gudda because it costs more to make — more paper, more bamboo, more work in the bow. We price it at what it is rather than padding the shelf with cheaper grades that disappoint in the air.

Fly it on a heavier hand with any of our 9-ply pinna, gloves on. Single, or a raqam of twelve at exactly twelve times the single price for rooftops that fly patang all day.

Rs. 1,500 for a single patang; a raqam — the patang trade term for twelve — runs Rs. 18,000, exactly ×12. For comparison, small commodity patang sold online in 2026 at Rs. 800–900; a 4.5 githi is a different class of kite entirely, and its price reflects the paper and the hours in the bow, not a margin game.

Patang rates moved the most of any kite class late in the 2026 season, because the big kites are the slowest to make and the first to run out. If the festival matters to you, this is the product where locking today's price with 50% earns its keep.

Githi is the patang paper grading, as tawa is for gudda — 4.5 githi means serious paper across a much bigger frame. The bow takes real bamboo and real work, and a badly made big kite simply does not fly, which is why cheap large patang is a contradiction.

In the air it is the kite the whole mohalla can see: high, steady, and slow to be bullied by gusts. It asks for an open rooftop, wind with substance, and a flyer who has held a pulling line before.
