The hells of the Indian religions: Naraka of Hinduism and Buddhism and Avici, the hell of uninterrupted suffering. A realm belongs here when its cited article describes a hell of an Indian religion. It excludes Chinese hells and Abrahamic hells. Examples in the atlas include Naraka and Avici. Naraka is a graded system of hells in both traditions, and Avici is its lowest level where suffering never ends, so the two entries describe one realm at two levels of detail.
