When light falls through more than 6,500 round inlay discs integrated into the columns and ceiling elements, this dichroic filter glass conjures up coloured light shadows on the ground. Six different luminous colour effects represent the peacock: India's national bird as well as the logo of "Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport".
