2024 Turkey: Tomb Of Rumi (IV)

 Originally the tomb of Rumi served not only as a tomb, but all as a religious center where the sufis would live in isolation (in some ways like a Christian monastery. The out buildings - like the kitchen we saw last week - have been preserved with exhibits.








Instruments for the sufi ceremony of dikhir:


Ney, the flutes used in the ceremony.  This sort of flute has been used for 4500 years.


Kudum.  Small drums.


A book.  I failed to note the marker.  


A calligrapher's set of pens.  19th Century A.D.


Calligraphy tools, 19th and 20th Century.


Mevlana prayers.  A.D. 1880, Ottoman.


Bonus round:  Dinner, dessert, and breakfast.
