Bismillah

By sheer coincidence (if one is to believe in coincidences), I ended up at the Festival of Sufism. A week long fest where I encountered sufi masters, learned the art of sufism, practiced sema (whirling), and immersed myself in endless qawaali nights. This is just a tiny peek into the humbling and divine experience that it was. 

The first two photographs are of the renowned sufi masters at the festival - Dr. Rahmi Oruç Güvenç and his wife Andrea Azize Güvenç from Turkey, and Fawzia Al-Rawi from Iraq. The rest of the photographs are of sufis from all over the world.
