Pancha Bhoota or Pancha Maha-Bhoota, five great elements, also five physical elements, is a group of five basic elements, which, according to Hinduism, is the basis of all cosmic creation. These elements are: Prithvi/Bhudevi, Apas/Varuna/Jal, Agni, Vayu, Akasha/Dyaus. These elements have different characteristics and these also account for different faculties of human experience. In ayurveda and Indian philosophy, the human body is considered to be made of these five elements. However, Cārvāka did not accept Akash as basic element as it is not tangible and according to them, there are only four basic elements. Hinduism influenced Buddhism which accepts only four Mahābhūtas, viewing Akash as a derived (upādā) element. These five elements of Indian cosmological system are similar but not identical to five element theory used in East Asia.
