The 40-day long period of harsh winter, known locally as the ‘Chillai Kalan’, started on December 21. Frozen water pipes, hanging icicles and bone chilling cold cautioned Kashmiris to brace for colder weather ahead.

The 40-day long Chillai Kalan period ends on January 31 each year which brings a lot of hardships for the people.
