Whirling dervishes perform at the ceremony held on the occasion of the death anniversary of Sufi, poet and founder of Sufism Celaleddin Mevlana Rumi, at Konya Mevlana Cultural Center on April 20, 2014. - Dervishes are masters of Sufism, a mystical form of Islam that preaches tolerance and the search for understanding. They orbit like planets around the sun, turning the dance into a kind of prayer. Some say the whirling dervishes belong to the central, conservative city of Konya, where Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, the father of Sufism, lived in the 13th century, rather than the cosmopolitan modern city.
Dates back to 1791. Soma, Manisa, Turkey.
