• Pheran or Phyaran, was originally designed to protect oneself from the chilly winters of Kashmir. Its origin traces back to the Mughal era from where the Royal style of this long garment was inspired. Historians suggest that the name Pheran was derived from a Greek word, Apron, while also a belief is followed that it got the name from Central Asia, Tajikistan as Peraband.
  
  
• A popular belief is that Akbar introduced the garment to tame the brave Kashmiris and make them addicted to a lazy lifestyle after he conquered Kashmir on October 6, 1586.
  
  
• Pheran is an essential part of weddings for women. After completing the ritual of having a bath (aab-sherun) before nikkah, brides are supposed to wear a Tilla-embroidered pheran, offer two rakats of namaz (salah), recite Qur’an & wear the same pheran for nikkah. Such is the essence of pherans.
