Ateshgah
Fire Temple or Temple of Eternal fire – Ateshgah. It is located 30KM from the center of City Baku in the Surakhany Suburb.
It is well familiar due to the unique phenomenon of nature which is actually the burning of natural gas. This temple consists of many natural gas burning outlets. In this phenomenon, the gas from the earth’s crust comes out of the surface of the earth and when it contacts the oxygen it lights up.
The present look of the temple was constructed back in the 17th and 18th centuries. And originally built by the Hindu community related to the Baku Sikhs.
The history of the Fire Temple Baku is very interesting and even longer. In ancient times, that place was the Holy Place of Zoroastrians which use to worship the fire. This inextinguishable fire holds a mystical significance for them and that’s why they came here to worship fire.
