WHY DOES KRISHNA WEAR MOR-PANKH

Mormukutdhari (मोरमुकुटधारी) is one of the names of Krishna.
It so happened that once Krishna was playing his flute and roaming with his cows in the forest. The soulful music enchanted the peacocks and they danced. Krishna,too, danced with them.

When the dance ended, the King of peacocks expressed his gratitude to Krishna. He requested Krishna to accept his plummage (feathers) and wear them on his crown as decoration. Since then, Krishna started wearing mor-pankh in his crown.

Another meaning of wearing mor-pankh is that a peacock feather contains all the seven primary colours in it. Just as the Universe is covered by akasha (ether) which appears blue during the day and black at night, so Krishna is identified by both blue and black colours.

By wearing the peacock feather, Krishna implies that the entire range of colours are present in him.

It is also said that Krishna wears mor-pankh to honour Bhagwan Kartikeya whose mount is peacock.
