What impact does winter have on the Kashmir traditional clothes?

The Traditional Dress of Jammu & Kashmir is highly affected by harsh winters of the country, especially the woollen phearan that is comforting and warms up the body. The kangri, a small firepot placed under the pheran, is also used by the locals. The style of clothing evolved over a long period of time to adapt to the environment. The person who lands in Kashmir using Kashmir holiday packages tends to see the functionality of such garments and their cultural orientation and therefore their understanding of Kashmiri way of life and the winter customs is enhanced.
