Today, it is a tradition from the Ottoman period that tesbihs can in some cases be considered as a sign of dignity and power for men; Because the use of rosary for non-religious purposes among the people in the Ottoman Empire was first seen among the gangsters.

Especially short/efe rosaries were used with a non-standard number of beads such as 15, 17, 19. History says that that the reason for this non-standard number of grains is that the 33 rosary is used for religious purposes, and if a 33 rosary is used, it may be disrespectful to religious obligations.” Therefore, these rosaries are not used for religious purposes. It is a distraction tool especially for men. It is the tool of the hands that give peace, comfort, and pass time.

In fact, the number of grains is especially reduced so that it does not have religious characteristics. This rosary model, which is produced through cultural means, has functions other than religious purposes.
