Hell, according to many religious beliefs, is an afterlife of suffering where the wicked or unrighteous dead are punished. Hells are almost always depicted as underground. In Christianity and Islam, hell is fiery. Hells from other traditions, however, are sometimes cold and gloomy. Some hells are described in graphic and gruesome detail.
Hells are often populated with demons, who torment the damned. Many are ruled by a death god or some other dreadful supernatural figure (e.g. Satan).
