Iran/Yazd, First Pahlavi Dynasty. The temple is located in Yazd, to the east of Shiraz, in the desert province of Yazda, where Zoroastrians have practiced their religion since about 400 BC. It is located on the Ayatullah Kashani Avenue and is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away from Yazd Airport. The highest grade of fire temples were first constructed in the Sasanian Empire for the reverence of fire, which is the manifestation of Ahura Mazda in the Zoroastrian religion. According to the Zoroastrian religion, this type of fire is consecrated by sixteen different sources, including the fire created by a lightning bolt.
