What is the name of the male gesture in which you touch your forehead, your lips and your heart as you bow when introduced and the reverse when you leave ?

The gesture involves raising the right hand towards the face with palm inwards such that it is in front of the eyes and the finger tips are almost touching the forehead, as the upper torso is bent forward. It is typical for the person to say "adab arz hai" meaning "I offer my respects to you", or simply just "aadab". It is often answered with the same or the word "tasleem" is said as an answer or sometimes it is answered with a facial gesture of acceptance.

In popular culture today, the adab is often associated with the courtly culture of the Muslim Nawabs.
