Wordless Wednesday: Winters in my hometown, Kashmir

A kanger, kangri, or kangar, a pot filled with hot embers used by Kashmiris beneath their traditional clothing to keep the chill at bay

The pinkish colored salted tea called "noon chai" or "sheer chai"

 The traditional kashmiri green tea made with saffron, spices, and almonds or walnuts, here served with one of many forms of mouth savoring Kashmiri breads.

The traditional winter wear: Pheren

 The famous Persian poet, Firdaus had said of Kashmir, 

Agar Firdaus bar ru-e-zamin ast, Hami ast o- hami ast o- hami ast.

meaning, 

If there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here..
