Not exactly!

Nirvania is just a beatiful magical land in Dharmic religions, which is simply made up a massive ocean of golden souls(atmans/jivas) looking like candel flames. It is the true home,free of suffering and problems for the soul, where it lives peacfully in such great sleep it takes no notice of its surroundings!
