The image appears to be a historical photograph depicting a group of individuals in traditional Middle Eastern or Central Asian clothing. The people in the image are seated on carpets or rugs, with some standing around them with their arms raised. The scene suggests a religious or cultural gathering, based on the attire and poses of the individuals. The handwritten text below the image provides some additional context, mentioning "The Dersim Dervishes" and a "Religious Communal Monthly 20 Gulls", though I cannot say for certain what this refers to without more information.

The sepia-toned image shows a group of men in traditional Middle Eastern clothing sitting and standing together in what appears to be an old wooden building or structure. They have their arms raised in a celebratory or welcoming gesture. Below the photograph is a handwritten note describing the image as "The Dancing Dervishes at prayer" and providing some additional context about the religious community and location, though the handwriting is a bit difficult to fully decipher. Overall, it seems to depict an important moment or ritual for this group of dervishes, with an emphasis on their unified poses and spiritual setting captured in the vintage photograph.

This is a historical photograph showing a group of Whirling Dervishes, members of a Sufi religious order. The image appears to be from the late 19th or early 20th century. In the photograph, there are two distinct groups: some members are seated on carpets wearing dark robes and tall cylindrical hats (fez or sikke), while others are standing with their arms raised in white robes, appearing to be in a dancing pose. The photograph is taken in what looks like a courtyard or enclosed space with wooden walls and windows visible in the background. Below the photograph is a handwritten note describing the "Dancing Dervishes" and their religious practice. The image captures an important aspect of Sufi mystical tradition, where whirling or spinning in circles is used as a form of physical meditation and spiritual practice.
