7 Dweep aur 7 Samudra

In Hindu cosmology, the term "dweep" refers to continents. The seven continents, or "sapta-dvīpa," are: Jambudvīpa, Plakṣadvīpa, Salmalidvīpa, Kusadvīpa, Krouncadvīpa, Śākadvīpa, and Pushkaradvīpa. These continents are described in Hindu scriptures like the Markandeya Purana and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. 
Here's a more detailed look at each: 
  • Jambudvīpa: Considered the central continent and is associated with the Indian subcontinent.
  • Plakṣadvīpa: Located to the south of Jambudvīpa.
  • Salmalidvīpa: To the south of Plakṣadvīpa.
  • Kusadvīpa: Located to the south of Salmalidvīpa.
  • Krouncadvīpa: Located to the south of Kusadvīpa.
  • Śākadvīpa: Located to the south of Krouncadvīpa.
  • Pushkaradvīpa: The southernmost continent.
