Kashmir’s Harshest Winter Period Chillai Kalan Begins

Kashmir’s Harshest Winter Period Chillai Kalan Begins

Kashmir’s Harshest Winter Period Chillai Kalan Begins: With the onset of winter solstice, one of the harshest winter periods of 40 days, called Chillai Kalan, has begun in Kashmir. Major cold is what the Persian phrase “Chillai Kalan” means. With Kashmir’s mountains buried in snow for weeks and the famed Dal Lake hitting freezing point, the continuing cold wave is thought to have reached its height.

More About This:

Srinagar recorded the coldest night of the season. The minimum temperature in Srinagar recorded was minus 5.5 degrees Celsius, which is the lowest so far this season.

With maximum chances of snowfall during this period, sub-zero temperatures in the region make people in the hill areas carry firewood to their houses in large quantities that will be burnt and used for heating and cooking food. It is said the snow during the period lasts longer and replenishes the streams, rivers and lakes of Kashmir.

What is Chillai-i- kalan:

The 40-day harshest winter period known as “Chilla-i-Kalan” has arrived in the Kashmir valley, with Srinagar experiencing its coldest night of the season. The ‘Chilla-i-Kalan’ is the 40-day harshest winter period when a cold wave grips the region and the temperature drops considerably leading to freezing of water bodies, including the famous Dal Lake here as well as the water supply lines in several parts of the valley.

“Chillai-Kalan” starts on December 21 and runs until January 30. The cold wave continues even after that in Kashmir with a 20-day-long ‘Chillai-Khurd’ (small cold) and a 10-day-long ‘Chillai-Bachha’ (baby cold).
