Why is the Pheran significant to Kashmir culture?

[Kashmir Holiday Package]

The Pheran is a very important part of the Traditional Dress of Jammu & Kashmir and has cultural as well as practical significance. The Pheran is made of either wool or tweed and provides protection from the cold. It has also become a symbol of Kashmiri culture. Foreigners who take up Kashmir holiday packages are very impressed by the embroidery on the Pheran and bring it with them as a souvenir of Kashmiri culture.
