Chanvar is a yak-tail fan which is waved at the end of arati. . Waving the Chanvar is also a gesture of honoring the Deity and Her royal power. Considered ritually pure, the only hair that can be used in puja is that from the tail of a yak. Very good quality white Chanvar fan for Deity worship. Chanvars have been made from the white hair of the Tibetan yak therefore the Chanvar can also be referred to as "the yak-tail whisk." The chamara is used by Krishna's queens at Dwarka to worship Him and throughout the ages the pujaris in the temples of Krishna and the demigods use the Chanvar, the yak-tail wisk, as an integral part of the aroti service
