Oven and heating device origins northern India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]

Hazards
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.[5]
