Istanbul Mawlavi mus 2016 3146.jpg

I took several pictures at the room where the sema is performed. Wikipedia: Sama (Turkish: Sema, Persian and Arabic: سَمَاع‎‎ - samā‘un) is a Sufi ceremony performed as dhikr. Sama means "listening", while dhikr means "remembrance". These rituals often includes singing, playing instruments, dancing, recitation of poetry and prayers, wearing symbolic attire, and other rituals. It is a particularly popular form of worship in the Chishti order of the Indian subcontinent.

I am sorry for the poor quality of the pictures and hope to correct this at some time.
