PM’s life-size cut-out adorned with ‘pheran’ in Srinagar
SRINAGAR, Dec 21 (PTI): A life-size cut-out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on display in Srinagar’s Lal Chowk was adorned with a ‘pheran’ – a traditional Kashmiri cloak – on International Pheran Day on Saturday.
A local poet from Budgam district in central Kashmir, Jamal Ali Karbalai, alias Jamal Budgami, draped a beige pheran over the life-size cut-out of the Prime Minister, attracting a large number of onlookers, including tourists.
“We have been celebrating Pheran Day for the last four years, and this is the second time we’ve adorned Modi ji with a pheran. We also lit ‘izband’ (harmala seeds) and showered sweets on him,” Budgami, who claims to be the chairman of the All India Modi Fans Association, told reporters.
