A ritual whisk made from peacock feathers, yak tail, or similar material, used in Hindu and Buddhist ceremonies.
From Sanskrit 'chāmarī,' meaning whisk or fan. Used historically in Indian religious practices to fan religious leaders or idols as a sign of respect and reverence.
The chaori represents the intersection of practical need and spiritual symbol—it started as a simple fan to cool people in hot climates, but became a sacred tool that only certain people could wave, loaded with religious meaning!
