40 days of harsh winter period known as 'Chillai Kalan' in local language began from Tuesday in the Kashmir valley. People celebrate the first day of 'Chillai Kalan' as 'World Pheran Day'.

Marking the occasion, actor Anupam Kher, who is a Kashmiri Pandit, took to Instagram and shared a picture of him wearing pheran -- a woollen gown worn during the winters in Kashmir.
