From the time when humankind began noticing the power of the sun, it was one of the most deeply revered natural presences on earth. His movements caused day and night, his absence was chaos and his presence meant life. Samba Purana, a text dedicated to the worship of Lord Surya, the Hindu Sun god, contains Sooryashtakam, eight verses in his praise. In one of these verses, it is mentioned that the deity rides a chariot driven by seven horses, and holds white lotuses in his hand.
This brass Surya murti is the embodiment of all classical attributes of the solar deity. Sun with rays emitting forms the halo of the anthropomorphic Surya in this metal image. Surya Deva sits regally on a seat of inverted lotus on the top of the chariot which is driven by his charioteer Aruna, Garuda’s elder brother. He holds the reigns of all seven horses, which signify the seven days in a week. The hind legs of all the horses are raised, which highlights that the chariot is on the move.
You can place this brass lord Surya image at strategic points in your home as per Vaastu science, to bring positivity, vitality, and a constant motion in your life.
