In Hinduism, Uchchaihshravas (Sanskrit: उच्चैःश्रवस्, IAST: Uccaiḥśravas) or (Sanskrit: उच्चैःश्रवा:, IAST: Uccaiḥśravāḥ), (lit. 'long-ears' or 'neighing aloud'')[1] is a seven-headed flying horse, created during the churning of the milk ocean. It is considered the best of horses, as prototype and king of the horses.[1] Uchchaihshravas is often described as a vahana of Indra, but is also recorded to be the horse of Bali, the king of the asuras. Uchchaihshravas is said to be snowy white in colour.
