Photographer: Edris Mahmudian
Dervish Arif plays the role of a catalyst among the dervish circle. Among dervishes, he is called Arshad. Arshad is closest to Sheikh. Darvish Aref, his different face has made him famous. During the dervish dance, he lets go of his long hair and enters his world and his god. Dervishes never cut their hair and long hair is considered one of the conditions of dervish dance. Darvish Aref has long and full back hair, which is very spectacular during the dervish dance. Dervishes in Kurdistan are a religious sect that consider dervish dance as a way of direct communication with God, and they perform their worship in the form of dance.
