	It is said that during the [[Peshwa\|Peshwe dynasty]] many tamarind trees were planted and these attracted peafowls. The villagers also claim that their ancestors kept planting tamarind trees and cohabited with this bird. Now there are around 2500 peafowls in this region.

	~~==Attractions==~~
	While peafowls can be seen roaming the fields throughout the day, they are best observed early in the morning or in the early evening. Some of the resorts have built special viewing areas that allow viewing the peafowl from a distance. Getting too close startles them, causing them to run away.<ref>https://www.morachichincholi.com//</ref>
