Number seven was considered to be a lucky number in ancient times. Before the invention of the telescope only seven planets were visible, they were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the sun and the moon. May be because of this the ancient cultures adopted seven gods or dieties.

Pythagoreans considered seven to be a perfect number. Hinduism recognized seven major energy centres or chakras in the human body. There were seven lucky gods who brought good fortune in the Japanese tradition. The Arabs built seven holy temples.

Number seven has been universal. For example, there are seven days in a week, seven notes in a musical scale, seven colours in a rainbow, seven seas, seven continents, and seven wonders of the world.
