Manidweepa is situated at the top of all the regions, and resembles an umbrella. Its shadow falls on the Brahmanda (cosmic egg) and destroys the pains and sufferings of this world. Surrounding Manidweepa is an ocean of nectar, which is many yojanas (miles) wide and deep. Many fishes, conches, and other aquatic animals play around in it. The shore is full of clear sand like gems. Various trees bearing gems adorn the beach. Across this ocean, there is an iron enclosure, very long and seven yojanas wide, very high so as to block the heavens. Within this enclosure wall, there are military guards skilled in war and furnished with various weapons. There are four gateways or entrances; at every gate there are hundreds of guards and various hosts of the devotees of Devi. Whenever any god comes to pay a visit to Jagadisvari (the goddess of the world), their vehicles are kept outside this enclosure.[^2^]

Inside this enclosure, there are seven other enclosures made of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, and brass respectively. Each enclosure has four gates guarded by various divine beings. Inside these enclosures, there are various gardens, lakes, palaces, temples, and other structures made of precious materials. There are also various celestial beings residing in them, such as apsaras (nymphs), gandharvas (musicians), kinnaras (half-human half-animal creatures), siddhas (perfected beings), vidyadharas (knowledge holders), nagas (serpents), yakshas (nature spirits), etc.[^2^]

The innermost enclosure is made of chintamani (wish-fulfilling gem) and is called Sri Nagara (the city of fortune). It has nine gateways guarded by nine shaktis (powers) of Devi. Inside Sri Nagara, there is a lotus with eight petals, each containing a crore (ten million) cities. In the center of the lotus, there is a Bindu (dot) which is Manidweepa itself. It has four entrances guarded by four shaktis of Devi. Inside Manidweepa, there is a Kalpa Vriksha (wish-fulfilling tree) which has four branches representing the four Vedas (sacred scriptures). On each branch, there are many sub-branches representing the various branches of knowledge. On each sub-branch, there are many leaves representing the various mantras (sacred syllables). On each leaf, there are many flowers representing the various gods and goddesses.[^2^]
