Punkawallah : ウィキペディア英語版
Punkawallah

In India and Pakistan, a punkhawallah or punkha wala (Hindustani: , ) is a manual fan operator. A punkah is a type of ceiling fan used in the Indian subcontinent before the electric fan. The punkhawallah was the servant who worked it, often using a pulley system. The word ''pankha'' originated from ''pankh'', the wings of a bird which produce a draft when flapped.
In modern use, a person selling, repairing or making fans, both handheld and electric, would also be known colloquially as a punkha wala, since the term means ''fan guy'' or ''the guy with the fans''.
