The antariksha is the intermediate area of the sky between the earth and fixed stars, as described in the Vedas, the oldest Hindu book; it corresponds to what we now call the atmosphere.
- This area is home to Indra, the god of the storm and the most prominent Vedic deity;
- It is also home to one manifestation of the Vedic god Agni (fire), who takes the shape of lightning.
