Bhulokas

Bhulokas is the plural form of Bhuloka, a Sanskrit term used in Hindu cosmology to denote the earthly realm—the world inhabited by humans. Bhuloka literally translates as "Earth world," from bhū (earth) and loka (world or realm).

In classical texts, Bhuloka is described as one of the lokas in a layered cosmology that includes higher and lower realms; humans dwell on Bhuloka, while other beings and deities reside in other lokas. The concept is used to convey a spatial and hierarchical view of existence in Hindu thought.

The form Bhulokas is not common in most classical sources; when encountered, it usually refers to multiple Earth-like realms or to Earth-like planes in different contexts, such as in encyclopedic summaries or speculative fiction. In traditional discourse, Bhuloka remains the singular earthly realm.

Today, Bhulokas may appear in modern encyclopedias, popular retellings, or fictional world-building to denote several Earth-like worlds or parallel Earths within a narrative or theoretical framework. They are generally treated as a literary or interpretive device rather than a fixed canonical category in the core scriptures.
