Peacock feathers have special significance in Hinduism. Peacock feathers are inhabited by all the deities and all the nine planets. Why this happens, there is a related story in our religious texts. Lord Shiva has told Maa Parvati about the importance of peacocks mentioned in ornithology. There was a demon named Sandhya in ancient times. He was a very powerful and ascetic asura. Along with this, due to Guru Shukacharya, Sandhya became an enemy of the gods. Apart from this, Sandhya Asura pleased Lord Shiva and Brahma by doing harsh penance. While Brahma and Shiva were pleased, the demon gained many powers as a blessing. Sandhya became very powerful due to her powers. The powerful evening had started harassing the devotees of Lord Vishnu. Asura had also taken over the heavens, capturing the gods. When somehow the gods were not able to win the evening, then they made a plan.
According to the plan, all the gods and all the nine planets were entwined in the wings of a peacock. Now that peacock had become very powerful. The peacock took a huge form and killed the evening Asura. Since then, peacocks also came to be considered sacred and sacred.
