In religious or mythological cosmology, the seven heavens refer to the seven divisions of the Heaven, the
abode of immortal beings, or the visible sky, the expanse containing the Sun, Moon and the stars.[1] This
concept dates back to ancient Mesopotamian religions
and similar concept is also found in some Indian religions such as Hinduism, and in some Abrahamic religions such as Judaism, Islam and Catholicism.[2] Some
of these traditions also have concept of seven earths or
seven underworlds, which also includes Jainism.
