Spiritual & cultural context

In Hinduism, the number 'four' holds profound cultural significance. Oneexample is the Dashavatara, the ten main avatars of Lord Vishnu, where four of them – Matsya (the fish), Kurma (the tortoise), Varaha (the boar), and Narasimha (the man-lion) – appear in the forms of four-legged beings. Another example is the traditional Hindu wedding ritual, which is performed in seven steps (七 sanskruti or pheras), including circling the sacred fire four times. This signifies the four goals of human life, i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha, sought to be attained through the union of two individuals in marriage.
