Mayura was created from the feathers of Garuda, a vahana (conveyance) of Vishnu, one of the Trimurti (Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva). In images of the Mayura, it is depicted as killing a snake, which according to a number of Hindu scriptures, is a symbol of cycle of time. Krishna is frequently depicted with peacock feathers adorning his head. Vishnu’s crown is sometimes depicted having a peacock feather. The feathers of Mayura, the peacock, are considered sacred and are used to dust the religious images and implements of Hindus.
