About this asset
A circular wrought-iron chandelier fitted with multiple oil-style glass lanterns hangs inside the Mevlevi Tekke (تكية المولوية) on Al-Salibeya Street, Cairo. A wooden balcony with traditional latticework (Mashrabeya) is visible in the upper background, along with a calligraphic panel bearing the inscription 'Ya Hazrat Mawlana' — a Sufi invocation referencing Jalal al-Din Rumi. The Mevlevi Tekke is an Ottoman-era religious lodge historically associated with the Whirling Dervishes (Mevlevi order), serving as a center for Sufi ceremonies and spiritual practice in Cairo.
