There has been a lot of research on this bird of paradise as most of them have considered it to be a peacock but it is not 'Mayur' and refers to the motifs of Kanchivaram sarees. The main rule to identify the Anna bird is that this bird is shapely and round with paisley-shaped wings. This bird is a white, small and beautiful mythological swan which has come from heaven. This 'Shweta Bird' is a symbol of purity when they will be given a bowl of milk mixed with water and they will leave the water and take only pure milk. In one version of the Gayatri Mantra, this mythological swan is described as the vehicle of Lord Brahma and his wife Saraswati. That is why Kanchipuram sarees with divine motifs are considered divine. Anna bird motifs are not only found on sarees, they are also found in Vilakku or Deepam, found in all South Indian homes, especially in Kerala where Gant Vilakku is used. Deeparatna is considered very pure in Hindu rituals and our ancestors associated it with the symbol of purity.
