Although there are many dervish sects in Turkey, the most widely known is the Whirling Dervishes. Started in Konya by Mevlana (Jaladdin Al Rumi) and banned along with all dervish orders in the last century, they (or some version of them) can be found 'performing' in many places in Istanbul. This sema (ceremony) was at a dervish tekke (lodge) in Beyoğlu, Istanbul.
