Whirling Dervishes Ceremonies in Istanbul

The Whirling Dervish ceremony is a highly spiritual celebration of existence, performed by members of the Mawlawi Order, a branch of the Sufi order which was founded in the 13th century in the Turkish city of Konya.

Dancers are clad in white gowns with full skirts which billow out as they whirl.  They also wear black capes and tall brown felt caps as a symbol of death, the grave and the tombstone.  There is a fine selection of quality venues offering whirling dervish ceremonies in Istanbul.
