| A seat or covered pavilion accommodating two persons, carried by a mule, camel or other animal. |
| Bahá'u'lláh traveled in a howdah for much of the caravan journey of His exile from Bag̲h̲dád to Constantinople. On the last day of the ten-day journey, as they approached the Black Sea, Mírzá Áqá Ján asked Bahá'u'lláh to reveal a Tablet on the occasion. From inside the howdah, Bahá'u'lláh revealed the Tablet known as the Tablet of the Howdah. In it He warned of tests ahead, which would come from Mírzá Yaḥyá. |
