The Throne of Muhammed / Tahti Muhammet in the Meydan in Haji
A small throne of three steps, originally holding twelve or more candles. Among these candles, in front of them was a tall candle with a top shaped like a the crown of the Bektashi dervish. With four sections at the bottom, standing for the four gateways; twelve pleats above running to the centre of the top, standing for the twelve imams, the twelve springs that sprang from Moses staff in the desert, the twelve disciples of Jesus and a button at the centre of the top, standing for Reality itself. This tall candle had three small wicks coming out from its sides standing for God, Muhammad and Ali. The candles on the throne represented both the Baba and Dervishes present, the twelve imams and the Bektashi Saints. The place postu of the Baba (sheikh) is to the left of the throne. Date: 2012
