Three children, including a baby, are among the dead after the day of celebration in Gujarat turned sinister on Saturday.
Six people were horrifically killed when their throats were slit by the kite strings in India
The spectators' throats were sliced open by the razor-sharp strings used by "kite fighters" at the annual Uttarayan festival.
It's understood at least 11 people died during the festival after either plunging from buildings or being sliced by the strings.
Huge crowds had gathered to watch the spectacle in the sky, where participants battle to slice their opponent's cords.
The mid-air tussle for triumph tragically saw two baby girls, aged two and three, and a boy, 7, bleed to death in front of their helpless parents.
