This is the tomb of the Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi (in Turkish, Maulana Jalal ed-Din Rumi in Arabic) in Konya. Next week it is 732 years since the death of Rumi, and we went to the annual festival today and to his grave.
Rumi was a prominent Sufi order leader in the Seljuk era, by the way. His poetry is known also in European languages. The whirling dervisches, his Sufi followers, may also be known to you!
