One of the best preserved buildings in the ensemble madrassah can be called the building Mevlevihane. Jalaluddin Rumi Mevlana is a great Sufi poet and philosopher, humanist teachings which developed in the thirteenth century, adhered to government officials, respected and wealthy citizens. "Mevlana" in translation from Arabic means "Our master". Died Jalaluddin Rumi in Konya on September 17, 1273, but his mausoleum has survived to this day and is considered a Holy place that is constantly visited by pilgrims.

The building, erected during the reign of Seljuks, in the eighteenth century was given by the Governor under Mevlevihane – a meeting place for admirers of philosophy as well. In the monastery comprehended the philosophy of Mevlana and trained the main ritual of the Mevlevi, a unifying philosophy of sound, words and actions. Nowadays, there is a gallery of contemporary art.

In the courtyard of the Museum of the mosque there is a fountain for washing the feet. In the upper part of the structure has four domes, which are completely covered with red brick.

According to the will of Mevlana, the festival of the dancing dervishes held in Konya in December of each year and is called the Sheba-and-Arus. Dervishes canonized habits of the poet, his way to move and get dressed. The ritual of the "SEMA" (the dance of joy dervish brotherhood) symbolizes the path of the ascension of man to the abode of divine love. Dance is the embodiment of the mystical journey of the human spirit through the mind and love of God. He was a mystic religious ritual in the middle ages, and today he had another purpose - to entertain the audience.

This festival is considered one of the best in Turkey. Every year the festival attracts over a million tourists, each of which seeks to get into the main temple, the Museum, and where are the major speeches.

The festival is attended by the members of the mystical Sufi order of dervishes, seeking his dance as much as possible to get closer to Allah. Rostrum indoor stadium filled with people, at the main entrance there is a choir and orchestra, but in the arena is an old mentor, standing on a piece of red sheepskin. Beside the old man are novices in felt hats, are conical in shape and black gowns. It all starts with the beats of the drums, after solkane which, the hall filled with the mournful sounds of the Ney (a kind of flute). Gradually joined by other instruments while the rhythm gradually becomes more intense, as if hypnotizing performers and spectators. At this point, the dervishes take off their black robes, and, left in white shirts, arms crossed at his chest, come to the instructor, bow to him, head on his shoulder, kissed his hand, then lined up in a column, turn and bow to each other. We can assume that the prelude to born more than seven centuries ago, the ritual is finished.

Participants begin to spin at only driven them to the team from the coach. Translated literally from the Arabic "dervish" is translated as "swirling". Their hands outstretched in opposite directions, and their heads thrown back. The palm of the right hand they turn up and the left down.

During the ceremony, dervishes dancing, walk around the hall three times. The first round means the knowledge of God, the second is the vision of God and the third is the truth of unity. With about three dozen adults dancing boy and seems to be no end to this beautiful view, but within ten minutes the whirlwind dies down and dervishes kneel, and then again immersed in a magical dance. It lasts at least five times. As the Turks claim it's not a dance, and a mystical ceremony, during which the followers of the teachings of the thinker and the poet of the middle ages Rumi, participating in dance, trance. Up they raise your palm in order to receive the blessing of God, and the palm facing down, should forward it to the earth.

The dance of the dervishes is one of the most impressive features in the mystical life of Islam, beginning a long doxology in honour of the Prophet (Jalaluddin himself wrote this hymn), accompanied by the amazing beauty of music beauty and terminating short of rave songs. The festival was held under the auspices of UNESCO in 2006, when observed in dosemealti with the birth of Jelaleddin Rumi. UNESCO has established a medal named Rumi.
