Peacocks
Deceived
Peacocks welcome the arrival of rain by
dancing. They realise the impending downpour from the din of the
thunder.
The dull musical noise emanating from the
musical instruments is similar the sounds of the thunder.This is mistook
by the peacocks as the rain-thunder and they commence dancing amidst the
gardens of nandhi-pura-viNNagaram.
This poetic description is given by
