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 Goddess Parvati about the importance of peacocks mentioned in ornithology. In ancient times, there was a demon named Sandhya. He was a very powerful and ascetic asura. Sandhya became an enemy of gods due to Guru Shukracharya. Demon had pleased Shiva and Brahma by performing harsh penance. Brahma and Shivji were pleased, and demon gained many powers as a boon. Sandhya became very powerful due to the powers. The powerful evening had started harassing the devotees of Lord Vishnu. Demon had also taken over the heavens, capturing the gods. When somehow the gods were not able to win Sandhya, they made a plan. According to the plan, all the gods and all the nine planets were enthroned in the wings of a peacock. Now that peacock had become very powerful. The peacock took a huge form and killed demon Sandhya. From then on, peacocks also came to be considered sacred.
