indian style

Sitting with the butt on the ground and the legs crossed at the ankles, pretzel style. Also known as sitting cross-legged in English, as tailor style or Turkish style in several European languages, and as agura (胡坐) in Japanese, where it is the traditional informal male sitting style.

The lotus position is a variation on this posture that requires greater flexibility, since the feet are placed on top of the opposite thighs.
