Details regarding Hells in Hinduism are found in the Puranas
especially the Garuda Purana. Kalasutram Hell is mainly used to punish those
people who do not respect their parents and elders. This hell is terribly hot. In
the Kalasutram Hell, people are bound with ropes by attendants of Yama and
thrown into the hell.
When such people are thrown in the Kalasutram Hell, they
rush about in the unbearable heat and drop down exhausted.
This concept of heaven and hell in Hindu tradition is based
on Puranas. Such stories and incidents in Puranas are meant to keep human
beings disciplined on earth.
Upanishads state that hell and heaven are on earth and lucky
are those who realize the true self and attain bliss here.
