कूल्हे
The Hindi word for hips is कूल्हे.
Did you know?
- The expression कमर कसना literally means 'to tighten one's waist' or hips, but it is used idiomatically to mean 'getting ready for a hard task'.
- In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, the area around the कूल्हे is viewed as a primary site for storing 'Kapha' or stability and heaviness in the body.
- While कूल्हे is the anatomical term, Hindi poetry often uses नितंब when describing the hips in a romantic or classical literary context.
Examples in context
