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 districts of Līlasuṃghāṇa lie were formerly a swampland where the Ēmīlumi river ("river of tigers"), the Hanaiyami 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.

Despite being referred to as a "city", Līlasuṃghāṇa is an ''eparchy'', which means that it has - at least for the core wards, called districts (''hālgārai'') a consolidated government at the level of cities, circuits, provinces, and even some functions of the diocese itself. Administratively, there are, however, places in Līlasuṃghāṇa designed as cities, parishes, or even villages: the area of the eparchy is extremely large, covering also some valleys of tributaries of the Lanamilūki river to the south where the only settlements are floating villages in the middle of [[w:Igapó|igapós]]. About 45% of the land area of the eparchy is covered by rainforest or swampland.  

The eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa, at the 3872 (6422₁₀) census, had a population of 9Ɛ.42.535 <small>(29,698,169₁₀)</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 district is the most populated subdivision in the eparchy; the areas typically know as "the center" are Kahērimaila district, seat of the Inquisitorial Palace, of the Blossoming Temple, and of most central institutions of the Inquisition, and the six districts encircling it (Lūṣyambādhi, Hūneidauṣa, Nājāmiḍāra, Kārmāsikeika, Saṃryojyam, and Janaimarta).

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'', ''Hanaiyami'', and ''Rajālyāti''; the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'' itself, and all of parts of the name of most districts and areas in it (such as ''Hilaiñāña'', ''Hūneidauṣa'', or ''Mūlikṣaḍāra'').

While for many centuries there were various settlements in the swamplands and by the hills of today's Līlasuṃghāṇa, the founding of the city itself happened in 4426 (268ᘔ₁₂) by order of Great Inquisitor Kahērimaili ga Banditiāvi ''Dalaigana'', aiming to build the holiest city the world had ever seen. The center of this settlement was on a bigger hammock in the swamp, not far from the Hanaiyami river and about three kilometers upstream from the lakeside - today's Kahērimaila ("clear water") district, named after the founding Great Inquisitor's regnal name. The only access to the early city was from the Hanaiyami river, and a smaller settlement was built at its mouth, functioning as a gate for the city - this area has been later remodelled by land reclamation and it is now the Janaimarta ("port city") district; many foundation-era buildings can however be seen in the ''Hanaiyami ga maiti memāyi jarmān'' (Hanaiyami River Mouth Park), part of Saṃryojyam district, and by the rest of the Saṃryojyam lakeshore.  

Other older settlements later integrated in the main area of the city are found everywhere in the eparchy; quite noticeable, ancient, and near the central area, are the former lakeside village of Kānuṣāṭham (part of Lūṣyambādhi district, northeast of the Inquisitorial Palace) and the "village of Huneidauṣa", today only a small, pedestrian area in the center of the eponymous district, southeast of the Inquisitorial Palace.

* The two districts of Kārmāsikeika (just southwest of Kahērimaila, across the Hanaiyami river) and Janaimarta (at the mouth of the Hanaiyami into Lūlunikam Lake) are mostly made of office towers and include some of the tallest skyscrapers in the Inquisition and on Calémere. The Janaimarta ("port city") district, actually, is a recent development on the site of the former lake port. Most industrial port facilities have nowadays been moved away from the city, directly on the sea, about 190 km east.
