Conceptual Context

In broader Hindu or Vedic usage, "antargeha" can also symbolize the inner sanctum or private space, not just the physical interior. It aligns with the Sanskrit tendency to use "antar" for both literal inner parts and metaphorical interiors such as the heart, soul, or inner consciousness (
