@nil21229: Sema Ceremony in Konya A mystical whirling dance by the Mevlevi Order (followers of Rumi), representing a spiritual journey to unite with God. · History: Originated from Rumi in the 13th century. Legend says he started whirling out of divine love in Konya's market. · Symbolism: · Whirling = orbit of planets & remembrance of God. · White robe = purity, death of ego. · One hand up (receiving grace), one hand down (sharing it with earth). · Today: Held weekly in Konya as a cultural & spiritual performance. #Sema #WhirlingDervish #Rumi #Konya #Sufism
