Birds have particular symbolic connotations in Indian art. The peacock is the most auspicious of all birds. Because of the tale of a peacock being created from a Garuda feather, it denotes liberation from worldly worries. This metal lamp with a center peacock pattern and a single wick is an unusual representation of the bird. The bird's tail melts into a flowery design rather than feathers, emphasizing the bird's magical character. When lit with great devotion, lamps bearing motifs of mythological birds are said to bring deity benefits. These lamps are quite popular in South India and have now extended to other regions of the nation.
