Summary

Description
English: kangri or kangid or kangir 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, which is also regarded as a work of art
Français : le kangri (ou kangid ou kangir) est un pot de terre cuite, entouré d'une attache en osier. Il est rempli de braises chaudes et utilisé par les Cachemiris sous leur phéran de vêtements traditionnels (au niveau de l'abdomen ou entre les jambes) pour garder le froid à distance. Certains sont considérés comme des œuvres d'art. Ce moyen de se réchauffer est depuis longtemps la cause d'un nombre anormalement élevé de cancers de la peau, très inhabituels, situés au niveau des cuisses et/ou de l’abdomen (source : E. F. Neve, « One cause of cancer as illustrated by epithelioma in Kashmir », BMJ, vol. 2, no 2592,‎ 3 septembre 1910)
