In the centre is Mount Meru or Jambu ('Rose-apple', hence the term 'Jambudvipa', Rose-apple island', for this type of map), which is the city of Brahma or the paradise of Indra. Around the centre are the elements of the four principal quarters: the seas and ocean, the islands inhabited by man, the 'Uttarakuru' or fabulous reigions, and land-masses to East & West
