Ornate lattice structure enclosing a grave in Islamic shrines
A zarih (Persian: ضَرِیح, Urdu: ضَرِیح, Hindi: ज़रीह) or ḍarīḥ (Arabic: ضَرِيح) is a lattice structure which usually encloses a grave in a mosque or an Islamic shrine.[1] In some cases, it can also surround a religious relic on display.
A zarih is built by skilled craftsmen. It can be made out of metals such as silver, or it can be made of wood. The structures can be the size of a small room.[2]
Notable zarih can be found in the Imam Husayn Shrine, the mosque of Imam Ali, and the Shrine of Abdul Qadir al-Jilani.
