Lions have been an important symbol for thousands of years and appear as a theme in cultures across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Lions enjoy positive depiction in popular culture as creatures that appear strong, but gentle at the same time.

Lions are often placed at temple gates and porticos of houses.It more or less signifies that when you enter your home or go out side home you always gain inner strength looking at the king of Jungle,Lion and because of this confidence you achive much more than usual. This ultimately brings good fortune and wealth, which is why I also suppose it signifies mortgage free home.
