The Zoroastrian Fire Temple, also known as Atashkadeh, is a sacred place of worship for Zoroastrians located in Yazd, Iran. Yazd has been the center of Zoroastrian culture and the site of the Fire Temple reinforces this status. Established in 1934, the temple holds an Atash Bahram, a fire of the highest grade that has been burning continuously, reportedly for over 1,500 years. The fire itself, transported to this location in 1940, is said to have been initially ignited in AD 470. The temple's architecture is reminiscent of the Achaemenid period, displaying a blend of Persian and Indian designs. The facade bears the Faravahar, a symbol of Zoroastrianism, representing the spirit of human beings and the link between the mortal and the divine. Within, the fire is kept in a large bronze vessel visible through a glass pane. For Zoroastrians, the fire is a symbol of purity and the presence of Ahura Mazda, the primary deity. Visitors can experience the quiet reverence of this spiritual site and learn about Zoroastrian traditions that date back thousands of years.
