Abstract (EN)

In the Orkhon monuments (Bilge Kagan's monument -north side), the family, expressed with the word oguş, was used to describe the Turkish social structure and culture. In Turkish society, which has attached importance to establishing a family throughout history, marriages have been seen not only as a bond between individuals but also as a social phenomenon. Marriage processes have been shaped by certain traditions, customs and ceremonies as a reflection of the social structure and cultural values of the society. These traditions and customs had a deeper and more formal meaning at the higher levels of the state. Especially in the Seljuks of Turkey, the marriages of dynasty members, sultans, and their wives were an important factor affecting the social and cultural structure of the region. In the Seljuk State of Turkey, not only the rulers and statesmen, but also the wives of sultans and women of the dynasty played active roles in artistic activities as well as in the political field. The existence of women banis has also left its mark on history with the information obtained from inscriptions, historical and literary texts, which are important sources of the period. In this sense, the analysis of the cultural structures constructed in the eighteenth century Seljuk Anatolia of Turkey is very important for the Seljuk period of Turkey. Therefore, considering the need for a better understanding of the deep effects of the banilik activities in the Seljuk art and socio-cultural fields of the Seljuk period of Turkey, the subject will be studied in more detail.
