Abstract:

The Anatolian Sultan Selçuklu IV was killed with the approval of the Ihanli Hakan Abaka Han. The turbe made by Hüdavend Hatun, the daughter of Rükneddin Kılıç Arslan, in 1312 for him in Niğde, is the subject of this work. After his father's death in 1276 he went to the Ilhanlı Palace as the bride of Abaka Han, and after his wife's death (1291) he returned to the country and witnessed the events that led the Anadolu Selçuklu State to the destruction. It is one of the unique examples of the Turkish Cemetery Architecture with its eight-gen prism body, pyramidal wind, high-cayed turbine, architectural establishment, and its beams, which the Anatolian Selchuklists built in the days of their retreat from the historical scene. There are different subjects and contents of the Hudavend Hatun Turbesi, which is an example of the architectural organization of the Sungur Mr. Turbesi built in Niğde, and high folders with a figure of content, loaded with images and symbols. A large number of bubbles processed between curved branches and plant spots are first found in this structure in the human mask. In the establishment of the turbine, it is seen that the eight numbers associated with heaven in almost all cultures are based and that the turbine is rigorously positioned, or even formed according to the main, intermediate and secondary interfaces. This design attracts attention as a complete mandala. A drop flowing from the eye to the back of the castle symbolizes the age-impressed Hudavend Hatun, the crowned woman head and the lion blast right next to it declares that the turbine belongs to a family member. The firmly hidden structure of the funeral, the window and portal arrangement, its fronts integrated castle surfaces and its rich diversity in various contents and meanings, the Niğde Hüdavend Hatun Turbesi, the images and symbols from the common ancient cultures of the Anatolian Selçukles and the Mongols are an original architectural work that has captured the integrity of meaning by integrating the technical and artistic characteristics of the age with a new comment and service. In this study, the Selçuklu Sultan IV lives in a period of time when the Anatolian Selçuklists were well collapsing and withdrawn from the history scene. The historic identity of Rükneddin Kılıç Arslan, the daughter of Fatma Hatun, Hudavend Hatun, is being addressed and is sought for meaning in the architectural organization and structures of the turbine that he made in his health in order to find existence as he wants.
