The term Sharira (शरीरम्।) refers to the physical body of an individual. According to Ayurveda, physical body is that component of the life, which is limited to this world only i.e mortal component. Although Vedas and other shastras identify various components of one’s life by the term Sharira, Ayurveda sticks only to the gross Sthula Sharira category among [[Sharira Traya (शरीरत्रयम्)|Sharira Trayam]]. Thus, ‘Sharira’ in Ayurveda refers to the material, physical, mortal body which is the seat of life energy or consciousness in this world. It denotes the body which eats, breathes and moves (acts). Other terms like ‘Deha’ (देहः।), ‘Kaya’ (काया।), ‘Vapu’ (वपुः।), 'Kalevaram' (कलेवरम्।) are also used interchangeably with ‘Sharira’.
