Kashmiris have been using this Kangri for centuries. This traditional Kangri is actually a beautiful basket made of flexible willow twigs with a handle and a thick clay ring (Matki) inside which is called 'Kundal' in Kashmir.
Burning coals are poured into the Kangri , which stays hot for seven to eight hours, and everyone can easily move it from one place to another in their fern, a long kurta made of woolen cloth, to keep themselves warm.
Kangri is part of the Kashmiri tradition. Without it, the harshest days of winter become more difficult. Kangri makers make attractive and beautiful Kangris of different designs and they are sold not only in shops but also in the market. At the same time, customers also buy kangri with great enthusiasm.
The potters who make the pottery required for this also earn good money.
Kangri costs between Rs 200 and Rs 900. However, the price depends on the texture and material. A 'Chalan' ( '????') is attached to the Kangri, which is used to increase the heat by inverting the coal in the Kangri. Kangri acts as a walking heater for people in Kashmir at temperatures below zero.
During the winter, the Kashmir Valley is more prone to lightning, which causes all modern heating devices to fade in front of the traditional Kangri.
