1891, Harry De Windt, A Ride to India across Persia and Baluchistán:
On the wedding-day the bridegroom, gorgeously arrayed, and mounted on his best horse or camel, proceeds with his friends to a "ziarat," or shrine, there to implore a blessing[…].
1908, G. J. Younghusband, The Story of the Guides:
Palmer […] was only saved by the opportune appearance of these two men, who enabled him to get back to the shelter of the ziarat in safety.
