Buy Chaur Sahib Online | Chaur Sahib Collection

In Sikhism, Chaur Sahib refers to a ceremonial whisk waved high over the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, to respectfully fan the scripture, by whomever is serving as an attendant. Chaur Sahib is found next to the Manji Sahib where the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is placed during the day within the Gurudwara’s Darbar Sahib (Main Hall). The Chaur Sahib is used to fan Guru Granth Sahib Ji as a sign of respect for the scriptures. The sevadar respectfully waves the Chaur Sahib above the Guru Sahib as a sign of respect and dedication.

During earlier periods, the chaur sahib was made of peacock feather or wood. These days the chaur sahib is usually made of a yak’s hair that is fixed to a simple or decorative wooden or metallic handle. In the gurudwara worship place, any Sikh men, women or child, may perform chaur sahib seva at any time while the scripture is open in parkash.
