  1. Pancha Bhuta

    Pancha Bhuta, five elements, is a group of five basic elements, which, in Hinduism, is the basis of all cosmic creation. These elements are: Prithvi, Apas, Agni, Vayu, Akasha. In Ayurveda and Indian philosophy, the human body is made of these five elements. However, the Chārvāka system of materialism did not accept Akasha as a basic element as it is not tangible and they accepted that there are only four basic elements. Hinduism influenced Buddhism, which accepts only four Mahābhūtas, viewing Akasha as a derived element. These five elements of Indian cosmological system are similar but not identical to five element theory used in China, which is Wuxing. Wikipedia
