What Wikipedia says

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 (हाथी हौदा hāthī haudā), 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.
