Istanbul had lots of Turkish baths ( Hamam ) built in
their mansions, summerhouses and palaces. Some of these
Turkish baths (Hamam) became public because of the demolishing

SEMA (WHIRLING DERVISHES)
The rituals of the Rumi's followers (Whirling Dervishes)
are among the enduring as well as the most exquisite
ceremonies of spirituality. The ritual whirling of
the dervishes is an act of love and a drama of faith.
It possesses a highly structured form within which
the gentle turns become increasingly dynamic as the
individual dervishes strive to achieve a state of trans.
The music that accompanies the whirling from beginning
to end ranges from somber to rhapsodic;its effect
is intended to be mesmerizing. Chanting of poetry,
rhythmic rotation, and incessant music create a synthesis
which, according to the faithful, induces a feeling
of soaring, of ecstasy, of mystical flight.
