Strutting through the sanctuary’s gardens is "Rajah," a magnificent peacock whose iridescent feathers shimmer like jewels in the sunlight. Rajah was brought to the sanctuary as part of a rescue operation after being illegally trafficked for his stunning plumage. Now, he thrives in the sanctuary, enchanting visitors with his spectacular courtship displays.

Rajah’s vibrant tail feathers are more than just decorative—they are a testament to the evolutionary beauty of his species. Researchers in the sanctuary observed how peafowl use their feathers and calls to communicate, shedding light on the complexities of animal behavior. Rajah’s presence has also sparked a conversation about the dangers of poaching, raising awareness about the need to protect these iconic birds in their natural habitats. His proud, confident demeanor now serves as a symbol of the sanctuary’s mission to preserve wildlife’s splendor.
