For foreign tourists as well as non-dervish Iranians it is very difficult to see the Sufi or dervish rituals practiced at certain times (mainly Thursday night and Friday night) in their "Khaneghah". Sufism is now practiced in Kurdistan Province more than any other places in Iran. With us you can see rituals of "Ghaderi" dervishes in Sanandaj.
