In Ayurveda we believe that everything in this universe is created from the five basic elements or Panchamahabhutas. Even man is created from these five basic elements and they represent the five senses and their respective organs in a human being. This can be depicted in the form of the "INDRIYA PANCHA PANCHAKA" OR the “FIVE PENTADS OF SENSES".

Determined for each individual by his own past actions and made up of the five elements, is born the human body, the medium through which pleasure and pain are experienced.
