In Thai Buddhist ceremonies, ceremonial fans are called Phatyot (พัดยศ), while fans made from Talipot palm leaves are known explicitly as Talapat (ตาลปัตร). In the context of royal ceremonies, Talipot fans can also be referred to as Wanwichani (วาลวิชนี). 

In Thai and Lao culture, Phatyot fans hold profound significance, symbolizing honor, respect, and spiritual veneration. These ceremonial treasures are often seen in sacred contexts, from depictions in ancient Thai manuscript paintings to their use in honoring the Buddha, royalty, and divine figures like the Thep Chumnum. The Sitting Buddha design radiates serenity and grace, making it a meaningful accent for homes, meditation spaces, or cultural collections.
