• In South India, particularly in the state of Kerala, a particular style of ceremonial fan is referred to as venchamaram. Vencha, which means "white," and maram, which means "tree," are two Malayalam words that are combined to form the phrase "Venchamaram."
• In some areas, it is also referred to as "chawar". The long, white tail feathers of the peacock were historically used to make traditional fans/chawars, which were then connected to a wooden handle. They were then stitched together to create an elaborate and ornamental fan.
