Pena de Pavão de Krishna
is a carnival block in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It was founded in 2013. The block parades in the Sunday of the carnival week playing Afoxê. The block's themes are inspired in the Indian culture. One of its characteristics is the intonation of the Om mantra before rehearsals and the parade. Another is the adoption of violins as one of the main musical instruments. The block's name comes from lyrics of “Trilhos Urbanos”, a song from Caetano Veloso. History 

The first parade happened in 2013 in the Floresta neighbourhood. In 2014, the block expanded, and gathered around two thousand paraders, this time at Jardim América neighbourhood.
