Summer is here, and before you know it, Kolkata's summer humidity will catch up. Soon, you'll want to either lock yourself up inside a refrigerator or keep drinking iced cold drinks for some relief. Well, neither of those options are practical or healthy, which is why we recommend using earthen pitchers. They're a healthy alternative to refrigerated water and are much cheaper than their electronic counterpart. Earthen pitchers' natural quality to keep liquids cool in the summer and hot during the winter make them the perfect, natural addition to your home, especially considering we tend to drink more water in the summer months. Prep for the summer, here are 5 places from where you can buy an earthen pitcher for the summer season.
