chakora | चकोर

In Indian poetry, the chakora ((Devanagari: चकोर ISO15919: cakōra), a type of partridge, is a powerful symbol of deep and unwavering love. It is so enchanted by the moon that it gazes upon it with a loving, almost intoxicated, intensity. This makes the chakora a popular metaphor for a lover whose devotion is singularly focused on their beloved.
