1. houdah

   A howdah, or houdah (Hindi: हौदा, romanized: haudā), derived from the Arabic هودج (hawdaj), which means "bed carried by a camel", also known as hathi howdah (hāthī haudā, हाथी हौदा), is a carriage which is positioned on the back of an elephant, or occasionally some other animal such as a camel, used most often in the past to carry wealthy people during progresses or processions, hunting or in warfare. It was also a symbol of wealth for the owner and as a result might be elaborately decorated, even with expensive gemstones.

1. houdah

   There seems to be a misunderstanding as the term "houdah" doesn't have a general meaning in English language. However, in some contexts, "houdah" refers to a canopy or carriage, usually of an ornate design, that is placed on the back of an elephant or camel for passengers to ride in, commonly used in South Asia and the Middle East.
