Product description: Lord Surya, also known as the Sun God, is a significant deity in Hinduism. In Hindu mythology, Lord Surya is depicted as riding a chariot pulled by seven horses. This iconic representation symbolizes the journey of the sun across the sky. The depiction of Lord Surya with horses represents his majestic and radiant presence as he illuminates the world with his light and warmth. It symbolizes the cyclical nature of time, with the chariot and horses moving across the sky each day, bringing light and life to the universe. The chariot of Lord Surya is called the "Aditya Ratha." It is believed to be made of gold and is described as having thousands of spokes, representing the rays of the sun. The chariot is also said to be driven by the divine charioteer named Aruna (Son of sage Kashyapa and Vinata, and brother of Garuda) who is often depicted as a person with red complexion, symbolizing the rising sun. The seven horses pulling the chariot of Lord Surya represent the seven colors of the rainbow or the seven days of the week, and each horse is said to symbolize a particular trait or quality associated with the sun or its energy. Worshipping Lord Surya may vary across different cultural and religious contexts, and as per Hinduism, the Sun is associated with positive energy, and Sun worship helps to improve mental clarity, enhance concentration, sharpen cognitive abilities, eliminate negative energies, and brings about a sense of purity and renewal.
