Jambudwip
As per 'cosmology' by the Omni-scient Absolutes , the Universe [Cosmos] is, in shape, comparable to a symmetrically built man, in whose extremities are hellish worlds; central portion encloses the animal and human worlds; breast, neck and head are composed of the celestial worlds. Above these worlds of gods, there is 'Siddh-Sheeta'. It is the central abode of the Liberated Souls, who are ever radiant and in Bliss, free from all attachment or sorrow and suffering. In shape, it can be likened to a canopy concave below and convex above.
Now the universe, as described above, has Mount Meru in the centre around which runs the first continent Jambudwip- The Jambu Island, as it surrounded by the Lavana Samudra[Ocean]. In Jambu-dwip, there are 15 planes, inhabited by human beings. They are 'Karma-Bhumi', offering scope of liberation to the inhabitants through endeavour and effort. These fifteen planes are : 5 Mahavideh Kshetras + 5 Airavat Kshetras + 5 Bharat Kshetras.
We belong to Bharat Kshetra. Our earth, including India, is Arya-Khanda, a subdivision of Bharat Kshetra
