About this image
The morning sun hits the tail feathers and they ignite. Not with fire but with color -- emerald, sapphire, amber, turquoise -- each feather a separate flame of iridescence, the whole display a bonfire of beauty that no artificial creation has ever matched. This HD wallpaper captures the peacock at the peak of its display: tail fully fanned, body erect, head crowned with its natural crest of feathers. The rocky hilltop and sunrise setting add drama and scale. This is not a zoo peacock. This is a wild bird at dawn, doing what evolution and divine design intended -- declaring its magnificence to the world. The peacock has been sacred in India since the Indus Valley Civilization, where peacock motifs appear on pottery and seals dated to 2600 BCE. The Maurya Empire chose the peacock as its royal symbol. When India gained independence in 1963, the Indian peafowl was designated the national bird, beating out the Great Indian Bustard and the Sarus Crane. For devotees of Kartikeya, the peacock is more than a symbol -- it is the living presence of the deity. Peacocks that wander the grounds of Murugan temples are considered sacred, and feeding them is an act of worship. The birds at the Palani temple in Tamil Nadu are especially revered.
