The Dervish Show is performed through a ritual called the Whirling Ceremony. Whirling is a spiritual dance and worship performed by dervishes of the Mevlevi order. This worship expresses love and devotion to God. The Mevlevi order was founded by the great Islamic scholar and poet Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi in the 13th century. The whirling ceremony reflects Mevlana's teachings and the lifestyle of the Mevlevi dervishes. The dervish shows in Cappadocia preserve these deep cultural and historical connections.
