Hand Embroidered Peacock
This piece of embroidery represents the eternal love making between gopis ( I call them Baawri- meaning crazy, crazy in love) and their only love interest, Krishna.
Peacock is symbolic of Krishna. The multicolored feathers of the peacock show the beautiful gopis who have thus become one with the Supreme Lord, the lively bright colors- pink, red, yellow showing their enthusiasm, their madness, their romanticism.
Just like a peacock's beauty lies in its feathers, similarly, gopis are like Krishna's ornaments, they beautify him with their love, their compassion, their devotion. Here, the multicolored feathers have bejewelled the peacock, giving it a new form which is divine unification of the lovers and the beloved.
The indigo blue sky with shining stars represents that ecstatic night when Krishna made love with his gopis, the night of Raas Leela.
