A Shaheed Shrine is a building constructed to commemorate and show respect to a saint〔Sandip Singh Chohan, Thesis for the University of Wolverhampton: The Phenomenon of possession and exorcism in North India and amongst the Punjabi Diaspora in Wolverhampton ()〕 and forms part of Punjabi folk religion in the Punjab region. ==Punjabi Folk Cosmology== In Punjabi folk cosmology, the universe is divided into three realms:〔() Centre for Sikh Studies, University of California. ''Journal of Punjab Studies'' Fall 2004 Vol 11, No.2 H.S.Bhatti and D.M. Michon: Folk Practice in Punjab〕 Devlok is the realm of the gods, saints and ancestors, existing in akash, the sky. A Shaheed can be martyred and hence achieve sainthood or can become a saint in the afterlife. Although not part of organised religion, Shaheed Shrines only form part of Sikh and Muslim folk religion. However, such shrines are respected by all faiths. Sikhs prefer to use the term Shaheed "jaggah" (but sometimes also use the term "smadh") whereas Muslims also use the term dargah or mazaar for such shrines if the shrine is near a grave. Muslim Shaheed Shrines typically represent Sufi saints. The Hindus equivalent of Shaheeds are Siddhs of the Siddha tradition. Siddha shrines are either referred to as Mandirs or Samadhs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaheed Shrine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
