A Chauri is a whisk that is waved over the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy book) whenever it is read. This whisk is called a chauri and is usually made of yak tail hair or artificial fiber, set in a wooden or metal holder. The use of the chauri derives from the practice of retainers keeping dignitaries cool with a whisk or fan, which became a symbol of sovereignty and honor. They use this in stead of hands as in Sikhism you are only aloud to touch the book if reading it.
Chauri is also in reference to a cross between a yak and domestic cattle of the Bos indicus subspecies, which are predominantly raised in Nepal.
