Religion:Paramanu

From HandWiki

Paramanu is a technical term in Hinduism. It is defined as the smallest and indivisible particle of matter. In Hindi and Bengali language paramanu refers to the atom.[1]

In Jainism it is one of the two types of Pudgala (matter), the other being Skandha.[2][3] It also helps to define smallest measure of space. All the Parmanus occupy exactly same amount of space. The measure of the space occupied by one Parmanu is called Pradesha.[citation needed]
