In Vedic symbolism, the Sun (Surya Deva) rides across the sky in a golden chariot drawn by seven horses. Described in the Rigveda and later texts, these horses are not merely animals but cosmic symbols.
The seven horses represent the seven meters of Vedic poetry (Chandas), the seven colors of light (VIBGYOR), and the seven days of the week, reminding us that time and rhythm flow by the Sun’s movement. They also symbolize the seven chakras, showing that Surya’s energy nourishes both the cosmos and the inner being.
Aruna, the charioteer, guides the steeds, representing dawn and control over restless energy. Together, the imagery teaches that Surya is not only a physical source of light but also the spiritual illuminator — the force that awakens knowledge, dispels darkness, and sustains all life.
Thus, the seven horses carry the eternal rhythm of creation, time, and consciousness.
