An angithi (Hindustani: अंगीठी or انگیٹھی) is a traditional brazier used for space-heating and cooking in the northern areas of South Asia, mainly in India, Pakistan and Nepal.
[1] Angithis usually generate heat from burning coal and, when in use, have glowing coal or charcoal pieces but few or no flames.
[2] A smaller, and more decorative, version of the angithi called the kanger or kangri is employed for personal use in Kashmir.
[3] Despite public health warnings, angithis are often used in enclosed spaces to maximize heating, resulting in deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning in the region.
[4] Public authorities and mass media in the region often exhort people not to use angithis or bukharis in closed rooms.
