Peacock on the Rock: A Diwali Tradition

by Vee Jay Bee, Varsha Bakshani (Illustrator)

Overview

You've heard of the Elf on the Shelf and maybe even The Mensch on the Bench but have you heard of The Peacock on the Rock? Do you like mythical creatures? Well it's about time you hear this magical peacock's story.

The concept was born after another holiday season of delights brought to my children by the visiting elf on the shelf. While I loved the way my children engaged with this adorable creature, I was also intrigued as to whether or not a similar creature could teach them about Indian tradition and yogic values. Ah, ha! The peacock was born as a creature who visits from India right before Diwali, the festival of lights.
