Bosnian term or phrase: dovište
Riječ je o religijskome turizmu u BiH, te se govori o muslimanskim svetištima. Tekst ide ovako:
''Ajvatovica je najpoznatije dovište Bošnjaka u BiH i desetine hiljada muslimanskih vjernika iz BiH i svijeta svake godine dolaze na Ajvatovicu kako bi proučili 'kišnu dovu' za Alahovu milost i rodnu i uspješnu godinu.''
Da budem iskren, nisam u potpunosti siguran, ali mislim da se radi o muslimanskoj molitvi, nesto poput molitve kršćana svecima za pomoć. Bi li bilo dovoljno prevesti dovište nešto kao ''Muslim pilgrimage site/shrine'', a 'dova' jednostavno kao '(Muslim) prayer'?

kišna dova -- prayers for rain

...So if the Muslims combine fasting and praying for rain, their du’aa’s in this case are more likely to be accepted.

Ovdje sam skinuo jedan bod, jer mislim da treba ici bez zagrada, dakle u frazi se mora spomenuti nesto poput ''site'' ili ''place'' buduci da samo ''pilgrimage'' podrazumijeva puotvanje do svetoga mjesta, ne i samo mjesto.
