Patala

Dalam agama-agama berbasis darma, Patala (Dewanagari: पाताल; IAST: Pātāla) adalah alam di bawah Bumi.[1][2][3] Patala biasanya dipadankan dengan alam bawah tanah atau dunia bawah.
Menurut kosmologi Hindu, alam semesta terbagi menjadi tiga dunia: Swarga (alam atas), Pertiwi (bumi) dan Patala (alam bawah).[4] Patala terdiri dari tujuh lapisan atau loka,[5][6][7] yang ketujuh atau yang terendah disebut juga Patala atau Naga-loka, alam para Naga. Bangsa Danawa (raksasa keturunan Danu), Detya (raksasa keturunan Diti), Yaksa, dan Naga tinggal di Patala.[8]
