Peacocks of Immortality: City Palace in Udaipur, Gouache on Cloth, 297 x 420 mm 2004.


This is a detail of one of the many frescoes of peacocks on the walls of this sixteenth century palace, which is on the east shore of Lake Pichola. The palace is now a museum. Peacocks, the most royal of birds, and the vehicle used by Saraswati, goddess of music, the arts and literature, appear everywhere in Rajasthan, enjoying the freedom of temples, palaces, meadows and markets, and depicted on coats of arms, castle porticoes and temple walls. Bird of immortality, the peacock symbolises Paradise, rebirth and the incorruptibility of the soul.
