চিত্রপতাঙ্গাসানা - somthing like “adorned moth pose”

A backbend similar to the triple fold rotated 90 degrees; the weight is on the abdomen, the soles of the feet are resting on ther ground either side of the waist. The torso may be propped upn on the elbows, or arms may be raised, pulling the head betweeen the knees.
