The word Tamas is commonly used to indicate Darkness in samskrit. Tamas (तमः) is one of the [[Trigunas (त्रिगुणाः)|Trigunas]]. It is also believed to be one of the [[Doshas (दोषाः)|doshas]] of [[Manas (मनः)|manas]] (mind). Commonly, this term refers to not just the absence of light in external environment but some obstruction in mind or senses that inhibits an individual to gain real knowledge of the situation either internal or external. Therefore it is also used as synonym for terms that indicate ignorance or error. However it is the characteristic quality of manas or mind according to Ayurveda while mode of material energy according to other bharatiya shastras.
