Kangri
As the temperature in Kashmir decreases in winter, the sales of Kangri - a local parlance for an earthen pot encased in wicker - picks up. Kashmiris use Kangri to keep themselves warm during late autumn and winter seasons, especially in the rural parts. Villagers cannot afford the electric heater so they rely on the Kangri.
The Kangri is a sort of mobile heater. The mobile nature of the Kangri is one of the big reasons that it is so popular in villages. The villagers go to the fields with Kangri inside the pheran (a Kashmir cloak) in winters. In addition, it is used to warm beds, dry small articles of clothi ng, warm milk, burn incense, roast chestnuts or small pieces of meat and light hookahs.
