Vastu shastra - the ancient Hindu philosophy / science, revolving around the concept that ideal space layout and appropriate placement of objects within that space bring immense positivity and growth into the lives of the occupants! As per this philosophy, objects of utility as well as those of aesthetic value must be so arranged that they attract positive forces into a home or office by developing perfect harmony between the 5 elements in nature - Prithvi, Jal, Vayu, Agni, And Akash. One of the objects of aesthetic value or decor, seen adorning the walls of many discerning homes and offices, is the famous 7 horses painting. Some take care to place this painting in the right direction and position, while others simply get it and arrange it in the space of their choice.
In this blog, Piramal Realty - a luxury real estate brand, known for developing smartly crafted, futuristic residential spaces in Mumbai, helps our readers and interested homebuyers understand the concept of the 7 horse painting better so that they can confidently place the painting in their desired spaces to derive maximum benefits.

This painting, depicting 7 horses running in the same direction with the rising sun or moon in the background, is believed to invite enormous luck, happiness, prosperity, and progress when placed well.
Running / galloping horses symbolize strength, courage, power, stability, and loyalty. The rising sun is the symbol of vigour, vitality, new beginnings, hope, enlightenment, renewal, and divine presence, and the moon is associated with emotions, intuition, calmness, serenity, and composure.
The horses, mostly white in colour (white is the colour of peace), are considered divine creatures in Hinduism, and are associated with Surya - the Sun God, who eliminates darkness and brightens one’s life. His chariot is believed to be drawn by 7 horses, and hence the number 7, too, has credible significance in Hindu Mythology. Even geology has ‘number 7’ associated with various constituents:
Appropriate positioning of 7 horses painting is, therefore, considered important as per Vastu Shastra.
A 7 horse painting best be placed in the living room, guest room, dining, or home-office. It should not be arranged in a bedroom, temple, study, washroom, or in the balcony or terrace. The painting must never be hung on the wall opposite the main door as it drives positive energy out of the house. It must be ensured that the horses are inward / forward facing (never outward facing), so that they facilitate inflow of positive energies into the space.

It brings fame, success, career growth, and recognition by removing obstacles in the way of progress.

A 7 horse painting, arranged appropriately in an office space, is believed to create a harmonious balance of natural forces, bringing success, stability, cheerfulness, and uninterrupted progress to the organization.
South
