Indian traditions weave around nature. Every element of nature is appreciated and is integrated into paintings. Indian traditions propagate respect for everything on the Earth, worship birds and animals, trees etc. The Peacock is the national bird of India and is also the vehicle of an Indian diety called Murugan or Karthikeyan, son of Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe. India has plenty of peacocks and rainy seasons bring them in grandeur. The significance of fishes in Indian tradition goes back to the 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu, where the 2nd avatar is the Matsya or Fish form of Lord Vishnu. These avatars are known to destroy Evil in various Ages and are associated with symbolic folklore. Here, a pretty peacock is seen perched on branches while a fish with a crown around its head is highlighted by intricate fine lines. The bottom of the tree has been decorated finely.
