A kanger (Kashmiri pronunciation:[kãːɡɨr]; also known as kangri or kangid or kangir)[1] is an earthen pot woven around with wicker filled with hot embers used by Kashmiris beneath their traditional clothing pheran to keep the chill at bay,[2] which is also regarded as a work of art.[3] It is normally kept inside the Pheran, the Kashmiri cloak,[4] or inside a blanket.[5] It is mostly used in the cold nights of Chillai Kalan.[6] If a person is wearing a jacket, it may be used as a hand warmer.[7] It is about 6 inches (150 mm) in diameter and reaches a temperature of about 150 °F (66 °C). It comes in different variants, small ones for children and large ones for adults.
