Usage notes
edit- In the Thai culture, prostration is performed by kneeling on the floor, folding one's legs underneath one's thighs, resting the buttocks on the heels, pressing one's palms together in a prayer-like fashion, and then bowing down until the forehead touches the ground or any other place, such as the lap or feet of the person for whom submission, respect, or reverence is intended.
- If prostration is performed with the five bodily organs – both knees, both palms, and the forehead – touching the ground, it is called เบญจางคประดิษฐ์, signifying deepest submission, respect, or reverence.
