jhulaas(m): seared, burnt

Description of jhulaas: Jhulaas is an Urdu term referring to a traditional swinging seat or hammock-like cradle, often intricately carved from wood and used for relaxation in South Asian homes. Unlike rigid chairs, it provides a gentle swaying motion that induces calm and leisure. Differs from Western porch swings by its ornate Indian craftsmanship, featuring floral motifs and deity carvings. In Urdu poetry, jhulaas evokes romantic imagery of lovers swaying under moonlit skies.
