'Chillai-Kalan' Begins In Kashmir Valley

A Kashmiri man rows a boat in the interiors of Dal Lake on a cold, foggy winter morning in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 21, 2025. Kashmir witnesses an end to a prolonged dry spell, with the upper reaches experiencing light to heavy snowfall and the plains experiencing intermittent rains on the day marking the onset of Chillai Kalan, the harshest 40-day winter spell. Meteorological Department officials forecast ongoing precipitation and colder temperatures as the valley braces for deeper winter conditions. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
