The traditional fire-pot locally known as "Kangri" sales goes up as cold wave grips in Kashmir Valley.

Made from the dried twigs of willow trees and a round earthen pot, there has been a surge in the sale of Kangris in Valley as it witnessed snowfall on higher reaches and rainfall in plains.

Kangri is preferred over other heating devices in winters in rural as well as urban areas.

It is the easiest and cheapest way to keep oneself warm in the chilling cold of Kashmir.
