Venchamaram (Chamaram)

Venchamaram (Chamaram)

The Venchamaram (Chamaram) is a sacred hand-held fan, traditionally made with white yak-tail hair and fixed to a brass or wooden handle. It is used in Hindu temples and poojas as a symbol of divine service, purity, and devotion.

Waving the Venchamaram before deities during rituals signifies respect, humility, and the offering of coolness to the divine. It is an essential accessory for daily pooja, abhishekam, alankaram, and festival ceremonies.
