A single-motor fan head unit that powers up to six swaying blade assemblies, designed for ceiling or wall mounting in living rooms, covered patios, and other dry indoor spaces.
The Punkah, meaning "fan" in Hindi, is one of Fanimation's original creations, blending artistry with function. This head unit operates multiple palm leaf or bamboo blades (sold separately) that gently sway to create a relaxing breeze. Finished in pewter, it suits tropical, coastal, or eclectic interiors. Note: This is the head unit only; blades and other parts must be ordered separately.

- Covered patios and verandas in dry climates, adding a tropical resort feel
- Bedrooms and reading nooks where a soft, quiet breeze is desired (not in sound-sensitive areas)
- Commercial spaces like restaurants or lounges with a tropical theme
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any damp or wet locations - this unit is rated for dry locations only
