Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)Showing Worry (expression) is associated with Mandālasa: one of the nine kinds of śayyāsthāna or “lying down postures” (in Indian Dramas), as conveyed through Āṅgikābhinaya: one of the four divisions of Abhinaya or “ways to convey or represent one’s emotion to others”, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra and the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.— The word mandālasa is the amalgamation of two words viz., manda i.e., slow and ālasa i.e., lazyness. To show worry, sadness and separation as well as excitement, the actor should stretch one leg and sit on other and this position is called mandālasa posture.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects.

[...] The highest reality is defined as that which is free from the elements such as ether; beyond the organs of perception and free of [mental] states such as worry (cintā). [...]”.
