DESCRIPTION OF THE RELIGIOUS SITE
DESCRIPTION
As we know, in every society and civilisation, there are holy places and saints are visited by public, who have spiritual and material expectancies. It is possible to say that especially in Anatolia, hosting many cultural elements in different characters, these kinds of beliefs are very dominant and there are many shrines and tombs in most of the cities, countries, towns, villages; so people, who are exposed to the troubles and hardsships, hope for help by coming these holy places or to the saints buried in the tombs. Despite its similarity to the situation as we mentioned above, it is incomplete and wrong to think İna Gulanê just as visiting Saint Veysel Karani in a sacred time. İna Gulanê is a sort of festival and has similar characteristics with Hıdr-Ellez, which we celebrate all together. For this reason, in addition to be celebrated by visiting Veysel Karani, the festival is also an important activity enabling to people, who came together with common purpose, to socialize with eachother, entertaining all together and also an oppurtunity for the parents for seeking girls for their sons who are at the age of marriage. Veysel Karani Complex situated in Siirt in Baykan County at Ziyaret Avenue, is visited by the people who lives around the settlement and thousands of people various parts of the country every year. Veysel Karani, who is mentioned as “is the best auspicious among the tabiin” at Hz. Muhammed’s hadithes, is visited at most on Thursdays and Fridays in May. We’ll deal with at this study with characteristics of both religious and traditional activities supporting “İna Gulanê” and the changes became at these activities over time.
