"Devr-i Veled" – The Sultan Veled walk involves the "semazens" walking slowly and rhythmically to the "peshrev" music. After slapping the ground forcefully (representing the Divine act of creation when God said 'Be!' according to the Quran), they make a circuit in single file around the hall three times, bowing first to the "semazen" in front of them, and then to the "semazen" behind them as they begin each circuit. The bow is said to represent the acknowledgement of the Divine breath which has been breathed into all of us and is a salutation from soul to soul. The dervishes then remove their black cloaks.
