Pavo cristatus



El pavo real se considera una criatura divina en la mitología de la India, especialmente como vahana (vehículo) de Kartikeya, hijo de Shiva y comandante en jefe de los ejércitos de todos los dioses. También se dice que, en una ocasión, cuando los dioses tomaron la forma de diferentes pájaros, Devraj Indra (el dios de la lluvia) escogió la forma del más refinado, el pavo real, y desde entonces, cuando Lord Indra envía lluvia a la tierra, todos los pavos reales danzan de júbilo y de felicidad: a vision to behold and worthy of the gods.
The relationship between Krishna and the peacock is indeed legendary: peacock feathers have always adorned his headgear, known to people as " mormukut " and is said to Krishna danced like a real turkey woo his beloved Radha and that when he played his mellow flute peacocks danced in unison with the gopis (friends) . Even today the temples dedicated to Krishna peacocks look at the entrances in prominent places.
In the famous epic Ramayana there are many references to these birds. Likewise, a Buddhist Jataka folktale entitled 'Mahamor' (The Great Peacock) tells how Gautama Buddha was a golden peacock unborn human being. In Buddhist mythology, the peacock is a symbol of compassion and vigilance. Folklore and Buddhist and Jaina legends contain many references to the role and importance of the peacock.
