From Wikipedia

Dvipa (Sanskrit: द्वीप, lit. 'island', IAST: Dvīpa) is a term in Hindu cosmography. The Puranas describe a dvipa to be one of the seven islands or continents that are present on Earth, each of them surrounded by an ocean. The same terminology is also used to refer to the seven regions of the cosmos. In the geocentric model of Hinduism, the seven dvipas are present around Mount Meru, which is present at the centre of Jambudvipa, the term employed for the Indian subcontinent. Dvipa is also sometimes used to refer to the abodes of deities, such as Manidvipa.
