Subduing Mara (Calling the Earth to Witness). Observe the sitting posture of the Buddha. The RIGHT leg is folded over the left leg. The soles of both feet are upward. This is most correctly called the half-lotus posture (compare with full-lotus posture below). Other names used for this posture are : 'hero posture' or virasana (paryankasana).
