There is a folklore that explains the majesty of peacocks. When Indra, the Hindu deity of rain, was fighting Ravana (Uttar Ramayana), it is said that a peacock spread its tail to form a shield to shield him from view. Indra rewarded peacocks with magnificent blue-green feathers as a reward. Images of peacocks have been used to heighten the holiness of objects since time immemorial. The gift they received from Lord Indra transformed them into the most prized bird and one of the emblems of power and regality.
Ritual artifacts such as this brass lamp were created with the peacock's grandeur in mind. The center theme is a peacock standing on a decorative stand and biting a branch, another symbol of development, with only one candle as a lamp that offers enlightenment. It is considered that maintaining sculptures or lamps with peacock patterns promotes optimism in entering a home.
