Sufi whirling is a form of meditation that originated among certain Sufi groups and is still practiced by Mevlavi Dervishes. It is a practice to reach the Almighty, the source of all perfection. Our captivating The Twirling Dervish in solid brass is a tribute to Jall Uddin Muhammad Rumi, also known as Mevlana Rumi, a twelfth Persian poet. It rotates on its central pivot with a single nudge, spreading circles of positive vibes and divinity in its surroundings. A wonderful addition to any decor. A one-of-a-kind gift idea.
