Srinagar: The traditional kangri (fire-pot) is a portable heater that people in Kashmir keep inside their pheran (a traditional knee-length coat) during winters.
The kangri is earthen wear filled with charcoal embers and covered in a handmade wicker basket.
Kangri is manufactured in many parts of Kashmir and mainly from Charar-i-Sharief village in Central Kashmir.
Besides keeping people warm during the harsh winters, kangri also helps a large number of people in earning their livelihood.
From peeling of wicker to creating a wicker basket for kangri, lots of people are earning their livelihood with this trade.
