“Mor” and More at Morachi Chincholi

Lord Krishna was always conferred with colorful peacock feathers. The Indian peacock is not endangered species, but is frequently seen in some parts of the country. They live in large open forest, banks of river or streams, orchards and streamside forests. Peacocks are ground feeders.
