Peacock Feather for Bhumpa, one-eyed bhumdro peacock feather with kusha grass and brocade. Fits perfectly on top of a bhumpa vase. The beauty of the peacock feather symbolises the transmutation of poison into the nectar of wisdom.
These peacock feathers are used as an ornament on the Bumpa. Peacocks are considered domestic animals and are widespread in Pakistan, Nepal, India and even Sri Lanka. They roam freely on footpaths, temples and monasteries, and are considered sacred in Buddhist regions. During the year, the long feathers of the males fall to the ground and are collected to serve as ornaments for ritual objects such as bumpas.
A bumpa is a ritual vessel with a spout used in Vajrayana ceremonies. The bumpa is understood to be the vessel or extension of the universe and is often used for purification or consecration. There are two types of bumpas used in ceremonies: main vessels (tso bumpa) and activity vessels (ley bumpa).
