Best Answer

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.
