Patang, gudda and what the size names mean
A patang is the standard kite; a gudda is the larger one, graded in tawa. One tawa is about 35 inches wide and is what most roofs should fly. One and a half tawa, at 40 × 34 inches, is the legal ceiling — there is nothing above it, and anyone offering a 2 tawa is offering an offence. The names in full, and how to measure a kite against the limit.
Kite door price in Lahore, and the spelling
Search for kite door price in Lahore or patang door price in Pakistan and you will find the same thing under two spellings: dor is frequently written door, and both mean the same cotton line. Ours is sold as a two-piece pinna at Rs 8,000 — plain cotton, inside the 9 tar and 28 count limits, wound on a QR-coded ball, never on a charkhi.
Piece count is the number that moves the price: a four-piece carries roughly double the line of a two-piece and costs close to double. Which pinna a roof needs, and what tar, count and winding do to the price per yard.
What we will not sell at any price
- Charkhi. Reels are prohibited; lawful dor is sold as a pinna.
- Chemical, glass-coated or metallic line. This is what the festival was banned over, and it carries three to five years for the flyer.
- Oversized kites. Nothing above 1.5 tawa, because our registration binds us to the approved sizes.
The dor rules in full, and the penalties behind them.
Kites, dor and everything that goes with them
Everything on this list is sold singly from Lahore at the published price — kites by the tawa grade, 100% cotton dor on QR-coded pinnay, and the gloves and tape that stop the afternoon going wrong.
Selling is paused while our registration is suspended by the Punjab Government — see the notice. The prices stay published so you can plan, and we answer questions either way.
