Whirling Dervishes of Konya

Konya is a city in Turkey that has gained attention for its unique and spiritual Whirling Dervishes. As I explored this city, I was struck by the meditative atmosphere and the dedication of the dervishes. The Sema ritual, which involves the practice of whirling and spinning, is a mystical experience that requires intense focus and discipline. I learned about the history and significance of this tradition at the Mevlana Museum, which is dedicated to the founder of the whirling dervish order. Overall, my visit to Konya was a fascinating and enlightening experience.
