Here is one of them, a lady is in love. He came and settled in a hut where his tomb is today. Rebab sounds come from the hut. Hazreti Mevlana spends hot summer nights in various districts of Meram full of nightingale sounds. Again, on such a night, on the skirts of Meram Hill, a meeting of conversation and dhikr opens, but that night, the rebab sound from the hut is not heard every night. When the council dissolved in the morning, Hazrat Mevlana said: '- Go, look at the hut, let's see.' When a few disciples walk through the open hut, they find nothing but a pile of peacock feathers in the corner. Who he was until then was not known, nor is he known after that. Hazrat Mevlana orders that a shrine be built on the place where the hut is located. " Karamanoğlu II. During the time of Mehmet Bey, a large mosque was built to the east of the tomb, and a Darü'l-Hufaz of cut stones was built next to it. These are still standing. However, there is no trace left from the mentioned lodge. According to Gordelevski, Peacock is a woman. After his death, the Bektashi community named him Tavus Baba. With the strengthening of the Mevlevi dervishes, the Bektashi left here. Once upon a time there were lands of Bektashi and Ahis in Meram and around Konya. The tomb, which was destroyed over time, was repaired by Postnishin Abdülvahid Çelebi in 1905 and a benefactor from Konya in 1958. Whoever lies here, the important thing is that he has been known as a parent among the people for centuries.
