Peacock rangoli designs are among the most loved in India. The peacock is India’s national bird and is linked with Lord Krishna, so it appears in rangoli for Diwali, Janmashtami, weddings and everyday doorsteps.

How to draw a peacock rangoli
Draw the body first as a long S-shaped curve with a small head and crest. Then draw the tail as a fan of long feathers, either spread out in a half circle or flowing behind the body.
Each feather ends in an “eye”: an oval of dark blue inside green, with a touch of gold or yellow. Draw all the eyes the same size so the tail looks balanced.
Use royal blue for the neck and body, green for the feathers, and a little yellow, orange or white for highlights. Start with the Simple Peacock Rangoli to learn the shapes before trying a big design.
Tips
- Outline every feather in white. It separates the blues and greens so the tail does not look muddy.
- Use a rangoli cone for the fine lines of the crest and the feather tips.
- For Diwali, place diyas along the curve of the tail.
