The Story Behind
I grew up in India. Peacocks used to be my favourite to watch during monsoons. They spread their feathers and dance as the rain approaches.
Peacock is known to be a harbinger of the rain. It’s call ‘Mae Aao’ beckons the rain to come. In Hindi 'mae' means rain and 'aao' means come.
When the rain comes after a long, hot and dry spell, the parched earth gets nourished, the trees have lush green foliage and the splendour and fragrance of flowers blossoming is like witnessing a little piece of heaven. This is what is portrayed in this painting.
