Behold, the mighty god Skanda (also known as Kartikeya, Muruga the handsome, Kumara the young, Swaminatha the ruler of gods, Subrahmanya the transparent, and many other titles), the Hindu god of war, son of Shiva and Parvati, brother of Ganesha, arrives mounted on his mighty steed: a peacock.
I'm sorry, I don't want to disrespect anyone's religion, but this particular peacock looks like it should be in a story with Wallace & Gromit, and does not look the least bit mighty or majestic.
I also love his twirly moustache and cute hat.
