A Glimpse into History – A Fan Fit for Kings
The origin of hand fans in ancient India dates back to royal courts and temples, where intricately crafted fans were symbols of status and grace. Known as “Pankha”, they were used to provide comfort to kings, queens, and sages, often waved by attendants in rituals and royal chambers. Crafted from palm leaves, bamboo, or peacock feathers, these fans held spiritual and ceremonial importance and were revered as both luxury and necessity.
