Detailed explanation-1: -The chauri is a type of fan. It has a handle made of wood or metal. The rest is made of animal hair or nylon. When the Guru Granth Sahib is read, the granthi waves the chauri over the holy book from time to time.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Chaur Sahib is a sign that this is for a king. For us, Guru Sahib Ji (Enlightener) is the true king.
