mihrab

Adjacent to it is a beautiful if gaudy little Mohammedan mihrab or oratory, approached through a private garden.

All mosques point toward Mecca, and at the Mecca end stands a mihrab, or niche, from which the imam conducts the devotions.

One of these columns, that to the east, has been partly built into the mihrab wall.

Rudabeh's mother won the consent of Mihrab, so that the young people were soon married with great pomp.

If we stand in the northern lateral apse and face the mihrab the reason for the alterations is evident.
