Manipura ( 'city of jewels' in sanskrit ) is the third primary chakra according to the Hindu Tantric tradition (Shakta).
t is positioned at the navel region and it has ten petals which match the vrittis of spiritual ignorance, thirst, jealousy, treachery, shame, fear, disgust, delusion, foolishness and sadness.

Manipura is associated with dyanamism, energy, and will-power. It is associated with the power of fire, and digestion. Manipura is said to radiate and distribute prana to the rest of the body. In this sense, it is similar to the Chinese idea of the Dantian, in QiGong.
It is associated with the following:

* Deities: Vahni, Rudra, Lakini
* Element: Fire
* Body Parts: Digestive system, Eyes, Feet
