Because the chariot used by lord Sun is having seven horses, Konark temple is nothing but the stone image of that chariot with lord Sun.more specifically the 7 horses represent the 7 component colors of the sunlight. Its an honor to say that we Indians knew it before the legendary ISSAC NEWTON.
The Book of 1 Kings says that Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. The Bible also tells us that the kings of Judah kept horses dedicated to the sun and there were chariots for the sun god kept in the Temple until they were eventually removed by King Josiah as inimical to monotheism (2 Kings 23:11). So, if the Temple was really built by Solomon, he might have started the practice of keeping the horses and chariot for the sun god.
