How it's used
This term is specifically used for the posture where one sits on the floor with legs folded and knees resting downwards. It is frequently associated with meditation, yoga, or traditional floor seating arrangements in schools and temples. While it describes a physical action, it implies a level of stability and stillness compared to just sitting casually.
