Do you ever wonder why some people place the peacock feather in the puja room or in their house? According to Vastu Shastra, the peacock feather is believed to remove negative energy and bring harmony, wealth and prosperity in the household.
However, simply buying it and placing it anywhere in the house will not bring maximum results. To attract wealth, harmony, and protection, place these feathers according to the Vastu principles.
Why Peacock Feathers (Mor Pankh) Hold Sacred Power in Vastu?
According to ancient scriptures, the peacock is the vahana (vehicle) of Lord Karthikeya, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and it is often associated with Lord Krishna, who mostly adorns his head with a peacock feather.
Because of these divine connections, it is either placed in the place of worship or in the right direction of the house, as it is believed to remove environmental stress, nullify Vastu Dosh and spread positive energy.
