Ayurveda (science of life)
Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
Harīṣā (हरीषा) refers to a type of dish featuring meat (mamsa) as an ingredient, as described as described in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.
(Ingredients of Harīṣā): meat pieces, small brinjal, water, ghee, asafoetida, cumin seeds, turmeric, wet ginger, dry ginger, salt, black pepper, rice grains, wheat grains and lemon extract.
(Cooking instructions): Put meat slices in the big cooking vessel. Add a large amount of water, required amount of ghee, asafoetida, cumin seeds, turmeric, wet ginger, dry ginger, salt and black pepper to it. Then rice grains, wheat grains and liquid lemon extract are added. All the ingredients should be cooked well. This meat dish is known as Harīṣā. It can be seen that this dish has certain comparable features of meat ‘biriyāṇi’. This is a common dish in the muslim houses in Kerala, known by the name of ‘aliza’.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.

Harīśa (हरीश) is the name of a deity associated with the fifth court (āvaraṇa) of the temple, as discussed in the ninth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation.—Description of the chapter [dvārāvaraṇa-devatālakṣaṇa-ādi-vidhi]: This chapter concerns the daily ritual obligations owed to the deities whose abodes are fixed in the temple doorways—[...] In the fifth āvaraṇa are the eight deities: Lohitākṣa, Mahāvīrya, Aprameya, Suśobhana, Vīrahā, Vikrama, Bhīma and Śatāvarta (139-153); the entrance to this round is guarded by Vajranābha, Harīśa, Dharmādhyakṣa and Niyantrīśa, Vāsunātha and Sudhānanda (154-168).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
