Raj Bhavan, the Maharashtra Governor’s official residence, is known for the several peacocks and peahens staying in its large campus. Nearly 15 of the captivating animals are known to make it their home. So, when one of them passed away, the governor wished to preserve its memory in form of a display. That is why he sent the bird to the Wildlife Taxidermy Centre (WTC) at Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
