Many passers-by even stopped their vehicles to capture this rare sight on their phones. The peacocks made their appearance on Tuesday, welcoming the rains to the city. One Instagram user, sharing the visuals, wrote that it was nature's way of welcoming the delayed monsoon.

Social media is now buzzing with discussions about where these peacocks came from. Many are pointing out that they might have come from the nearby 'Tower of Silence' or Godrej Baug. Mumbaikars believe these hilly, green areas have a large peacock population, and the birds probably came down to the roads with the rain. Whatever the reason, for people caught in the city's hectic life, these peacocks have become a truly heartwarming sight.
