Ateshgah Fire Temple

A five-sided sanctuary, built by merchants who worshipped fire. Ateshgah Fire Temple stands in Surakhani, on the outskirts of Baku, its current structure built between the 17th and 18th centuries. The land itself had long been tied to Zoroastrian fire worship, but the temple as it stands today was actually built by Hindu and Sikh merchants and pilgrims who had traveled here from India. Flames once burned naturally here, fed by gas seeping up from underground, until they died out in the late 19th century. Today, a museum keeps the flame alive using a supplied gas line, so visitors can still see fire burning at its center.
