Winters In Kashmir
Rafiqa, 46, puts burning charcoal in a firepot on a cold day in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on November 17, 2024. People burn fallen dried leaves and twigs of a Chinar tree to make charcoal ahead of harsh winters. Charcoal, known locally as ''Czinne,'' is an essential ingredient for the traditional Kashmiri firepot, known as the 'Kangri,' which people use to keep themselves warm. Kangri is a small earthen pot filled with burning charcoal and covered with wickerwork. (Photo by Nasir Kachroo/NurPhoto)
