Özet:

Dervish lodges (Tekkes) generally adopts Islamic principles and They have been active in this direction.  Every order has its own set of rules and apply them  with a form of worship called zikir or rite. These rules have been maintained for centuries and the general line remains the same.  Thus, "tekke culture" was formed.  In addition to worship, there are many different dimensions such as music, human relations and lifestyle.   Every Tekke made a remark one day in a week and at the same hour.  And also, In these structures,  special ceremonies and rituals are performed during religious days and holidays.  The parts of the structure in the architecture of Tekke are arranged to respond to different functions.  It is functional.  There is a connection and organization among human relations.  In general, each tekke has three main architectural elements. These are the ancestral house, the service buildings  and the tombs.  The ancestral house (Tevhidhane) is the most important architectural section of the tekke. The inscription was made here. The architectural elements that must be found in a ancestral  house are the niche and the women's department.  Sultanahmet Arasta Dervish lodge (Arasta Tekke)  has existed in the past as an important mystic structure.
