Moulana is buried in an elaborate tomb inside the Asithane or Mother Tekke now turned into a museum. Although he wanted a simple Muslim grave the Sultans felt that he should have something better. In the Ottoman period a large Tekke (Dervish Ceremonial Retreat Center) was built. The dervishes created an initiatory system of common tasks such as the coffee-maker and the cook that promoted both submission and spiritual evolution. The most familiar image of Mevlana is mostly a modern creation based upon the elaborate costumes worn during the Ottoman periods. In his time he probably wore a small skull cap with a turban around it. His actual garments are in the museum in Konya as is a hat worn it is said by Shemsi Tabriz.
The other familiar image of the Mevlevi Dervishes is the Whirling Ceremony or Mukkabele. This is now performed once a year in the new Mevlana Center in Konya. Traditional musical instruments such as Kudum (small kettle drum set), Ney (end blown reed flute) and so on are used in a four part ceremony which uses the poetry of Rumi in Persian set to a musical Makam (mode).

SULEYMAN LORAS DEDE - SHAIKH OF KONYA (QAS)
The late Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Loras Dede is buried in the Haci Fettah Cemetary in Konya, Turkey. There is rose growing on his grave and the whole tomb was built with donations from murids and dosts. If you ever get the chance go to the grave and make prayers for Dede and his message of love and acceptance.
