The
Turbe of Nasreddin Hodja (Turkish:
Nasreddin Hoca Türbesi) is located in the
Akşehir district of
Konya Province.
Nasreddin (Turkish:
Nasreddin Hoca) was a
Seljuq satirical Sufi, believed to have lived and died during the
13th century in
Akşehir district of
Konya. He is considered a populist philosopher and wise man, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes. He appears in thousands of stories, sometimes witty, sometimes wise, but often, too, a fool or the butt of a joke. A
Nasreddin story usually has a subtle humour and a pedagogic nature. The
International Nasreddin Hodja fest is celebrated between
5 and
10 July in his hometown every year.
Nasreddin Hodja died in
683 AH (1284 AD) and
386 (reverse of
683)
is written on his
sanduka (cist - sarcopaghus) to symbolize
Nasreddin Hodja.
