What is Jamghat, a festival celebrated in Awadh after Diwali?

Jamghat is a traditional kite-flying festival celebrated in Lucknow and the surrounding Awadh region a day after Diwali. Kite-flying competitions are held across neighbourhoods as people gather for a relaxed celebration. The city-wide activity is said to have originated as a popular leisure and competitive hobby among the Nawabs of Lucknow and later evolved as a symbol of communal harmony.
