Razai

Arzaai or Razai (Hindustani: रज़ाई, رزائی; Punjabi: ਰਜ਼ਾਈ, رزائی; Bengali: রেজাই, romanized: rezāi) is a bedding (quilt) very similar to, if not a type of, duvet or comforter, used in Afghanistan, Pakistan, North India, Bangladesh and Nepal. Razais usually have a cotton, silk or velvet cover which is stuffed with cotton wool. They can provide a great deal of warmth even in the very cold weather that can occur in these regions, primarily due to the insulating effects of the large amount of air trapped in the cotton wool. rdf:langString
