| Whirling dervishes, Konya |
| Description: |
Whirling dervishes are the practitioners of Sufism, which can be regarded as a Turkish-Anatolian interpretation of Islam. Sufism focuses heavily on the inner peace of man, and has meditation-like practices to feel closer to God. What whirling Dervishes do is also a way of feeling closer to God. |
