Sophia Enjoying Basant Festival


A quite beautiful girl Sophia in a snap taken one year ago by a local Lahore based photographer. It seems that, Sophia along with her friend was sharing in the yearly Basant festival celebrations. Basant is a local West Punjabi event that celebrates the arrival of springtime by the mass flying of kites. Kite flying competitions are staged throughout the Punjab, but the activity is particularly zealous in the city of Lahore.
Kite flying fans use glass-sharpened strings to cut through the kite strings of their opponents. Unfortunately, lots of children get injured every year due to the sharp and unstable kite strings. Pakistani girls also participate in Basant, as it ends into a flurry of all night dancing and illuminated nocturnal kite flying parties.
