The two-day kite festival is the beating heart of Gujarat's cultural calendar, attracting master kite flyers, makers and spectators from across the globe, with thousands of kites of every shape, size and colour filling the sky. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The athletes and children were joined by Commonwealth Sport President Dr Donald Rukare, CEO Katie Sadleir, and their counterparts from Team India, President Dr. P.T. Usha and CEO Raghuram Iyer, as well as Commonwealth Games Scotland CEO, Jon Doig. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Scotland's breakout star, gymnast Reuben Ward, said: \"Glasgow 2026 and the Commonwealth Games will forever have a special place in my heart \u2013 I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have without everyone who came out to support me. I hope to be there in India in four years, representing Team Scotland again.\" <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India's long jump silver medallist, Murali Sreeshankar, said: \"It's exciting to see the Games starting their journey to my home country \u2013 we can't wait to welcome the world in 2030. Being in Glasgow, I've seen how the local community gets behind the Games and its athletes. This feels like a new era for the Games now, and I know it will be very special in Amdavad.\" <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Scotland's breakout star, gymnast Reuben Ward, said: \"Glasgow 2026 and the Commonwealth Games will forever have a special place in my heart \u2013 I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have without everyone who came out to support me.
