The death anniversary of Mawlana Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi, known to the world as Rumi, was observed with great reverence in Konya. Thousands of admirers and tourists gathered to honor the legacy of this great Sufi poet and mystic in a spectacular cultural event.
The highlight of the gathering is the mesmerizing “Seb-i Arus” or “Wedding Night” ceremony performed by the Whirling Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. This ritual symbolizes Rumi’s spiritual reunion with the Divine and the end of earthly separation from the Creator.
Accompanied by the haunting sound of the reed flute, the dervishes create a transcendent atmosphere through their whirling dance. The ceremony continues to spread Rumi’s timeless message of love, peace, and tolerance to audiences from around the globe.
