Dervish (Darvish) is a Persian name referencing the people living and practicing the path of their God, Allah. According to Wikipedia, a dervish is someone treading a Sufi Muslim ascetic path. They are also known as 'Tariqah' and recognized for their austerity and their vow to extreme poverty. The dervish believe in relinquishing one's earthly ties to reach a state of tranquility, love and harmony. In the majority of Sufi orders, a dervish is known to practice dhikr through physical exertions or religious practices to attain the ecstatic trance to reach Allah. Their most common practice is Sema which is associated with Rumi. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 02'11 x 03'11.
