Winds of Tradition: Celebrating Sukanburu's Kite Festival
Abstract: The Sukanburu festival is a unique tradition of crafting and flying giant kites that serve as spiritual messengers to the deity of Buru Bonga, symbolizing freedom, harmony, and ecological connectivity. These artistic expressions reflect the Munda community's deep respect for nature and its commitment to sustainability. The festival occurs annually on sacred hills and includes rituals, music, dance, and social gatherings, fostering community cohesion and cultural continuity. This research highlights the festival's role in preserving indigenous art forms and environmental ethics amidst contemporary challenges, emphasizing the need to educate younger generations on traditional practices to maintain cultural heritage.
