Religion: Hinduism – About Lord Shri Krishna – Dress & Colours

Lord Krishnas devotees love to decorate him with exotic robes and jewellery. Loaded with glittering ornaments, he adorns himself with a plain and simple peacock-feather on his crown. Peacock feather is his inseparable accessory. In fact, Shri Krishna’s peacock-plume signifies many things which can directly be linked to our lives.
The plume on Shri Krishna’s crown is a mirror to many hard core realties exemplified through the feather. We all know that peacock is known for its beautiful multi-coloured feathers. These feathers were used in decorative forms by the rural people in old days. Shri Krishna wore it to make it popular and at the same time to be accepted by the common masses. Various colours of peacock-feather also signify the colours of life, which is sometimes bright, sometimes dull, gloomy and dark on various occasions.
Bright colours stand for happiness, felicity, merriment and prosperity and dark colour stands for sorrow, despondency and calamity. One should accept every challenge – every colour which life offers to everybody, as a gift with equanimity.
Through the feather of peacock Shri Krishna establishes one more fact that we should embrace our foes with the same fondness as we embrace our friends. Balram, the elder brother of Shri Krishna is said to be the manifestation of ‘Sheshnaag’ (Name of a celebrated serpent said to have thousand heads and represented as couch of Lord Vishnu) and the serpents are killed by peacocks instantly.
They are gruesome enemies of snakes. Being a sibling of Shri Balarm (Sheshnaag) Shri Krishna graces the beauty of peacock-feather while wearing it on his crown, thus generating the message to accept friends and foes impartially.
