Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya. Most of the area where the present-day core sectors of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ēmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Talitanah river ("cocoa river"), and the Rajālyāti river ("silver-black river") - all three blackwater - reach Lake Lūlunīkam. This former swamp, nestled between low forested hills and the shore, was mostly drained through centuries and is now one of the most densely populated pieces of land on Calémere. Despite lying just south of the 15th parallel north, Līlasuṃghāṇa has an equatorial rainforest climate with constant rainfall throughout the year and no distinct seasons. | Līlasuṃghāṇa lies on the southeastern shore of Lake Lūlunīkam (an inlet of the Jahībušanī sea) in the Jade Coast, with most of the eparchy's area extending south along the southern branch of the Lake, formed by the clearwater Lanamilūki river coming from the wetlands and [[w:Várzea forest|várzeas]] of Talæñoya.

The eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa, at the 3872 (6422<sub>10</sub>) census, had a population of 9Ɛ.42.535 <small>(29,698,169<sub>10</sub>)</small> people. The Līlasuṃghāṇa metropolitan area is the second-largest in the world (after the polycentric conurbation of eastern Hachitama diocese) and extends into neighboring parts of Nanašīrama and also the dioceses of Talæñoya to the south as well as Šraḍhaṃñælihæka and Kāṃradeša across the lake. Usāṃrātnam sector is the most populated subdivision in the eparchy; the areas typically know as "the center" are Kahērimaila sector, seat of the Inquisitorial Palace, of the Blossoming Temple, and of most central institutions of the Inquisition, and the six sectors encircling it (Lūṣyambādhi, Hūneidauṣa, Nājāmiḍāra, Haleikēlṭah, Saṃryojyam, and Janaimarta). | The eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa, at the 3872 (6422<sub>10</sub>) census, had a population of 9Ɛ.42.535 <small>(29,698,169<sub>10</sub>)</small> people.

The Laifutaši language, which was spoken in pre-Yunyalīlti times in the area and greatly influenced Chlouvānem (and also some words of the local vernacular not present in standard Chlouvānem), has left its trace in many toponyms in the area: lake ''Lūlunīkam''; the rivers ''Lanamilūki'', ''Talitanah'', and ''Rajālyāti''; the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'' itself, and all of parts of the name of most sectors and areas in it (such as ''Hilaiñāña'', ''Hūneidauṣa'', or ''Mūlikṣaḍāra''). | The Laifutaši language, which was spoken in pre-Yunyalīlti times in the area and greatly influenced Chlouvānem (and also some words of the local vernacular not present in standard Chlouvānem), has left its trace in many toponyms in the area: lake ''Lūlunīkam''; the rivers ''Lanamilūki'', ''Talitanah'', and ''Rajālyāti''; the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'' itself, and all of parts of the name of most sectors and areas in it (such as ''Hilaiñāña'', ''Hūneidauṣa'', or ''Mūlikṣaḍāra''). | ||

The name of Līlasuṃghāṇa predates the city, and is a bahuvrihi compound of ''līlas'' - the name (nowadays archaic) of cubs of ''nāmñē'', a tropical seal living along most of the Inquisition's tropical coasts - and ''suṃghāṇa'', meaning "melody". The name thus means "melody of nāmñē cubs", intended as "the place where nāmñē cubs sing melodies". | The name of Līlasuṃghāṇa predates the city, and is a bahuvrihi compound of ''līlas'' - the name (nowadays archaic) of cubs of ''nāmñē'', a tropical seal living along most of the Inquisition's tropical coasts - and ''suṃghāṇa'', meaning "melody".

In foreign languages, it is mostly known by transliterations of the Chlouvānem name ([[Qualdomelic]]: ''Lilasuŋgana'', [[Skyrdagor]]: ''Ninaszungana'', [[Nordulaki]]: ''Ninasungana'', [[Cerian]]: ''Nínasungána'', [[Holenagic]]: ''Ngingasunggana''), but in [[Brono-Fathanic]] it is commonly called "Holy City" due to it being the holiest city of the Yunyalīlta (Bronic: ''Boraosovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Brawswahes''), with the full form "Holy City of Līlasuṃghāṇa" (Bronic: ''Lilasongana boraosa ovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Liŋaseuŋgan braws wahes'') being only found in a few official reports or in lists of holy cities and places. | In foreign languages, it is mostly known by transliterations of the Chlouvānem name ([[Qualdomelic]]: ''Lilasuŋgana'', [[Skyrdagor]]: ''Ninaszungana'', [[Nordulaki]]: ''Ninasungana'', [[Cerian]]: ''Nínasungána'', [[Holenagic]]: ''Ngingasunggana''), but in [[Brono-Fathanic]] it is commonly called "Holy City" due to it being the holiest city of the Yunyalīlta (Bronic: ''Boraosovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Brawswahes''), with the full form "Holy City of Līlasuṃghāṇa" (Bronic: ''Lilasongana boraosa ovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Liŋaseuŋgan braws wahes'') being only found in a few official reports or in lists of holy cities and places. | ||
In Imuniguro-Xenic languages apart from Qualdomelic and Brono-Fathanic (whose borrowing of the name was earlier than most of their own Imuniguro-Xenic stock), the name is an adaptation of the Chlouvānem one, but written as in Chlouvānem due to all these languages having adopted the Chlouvānem script.
