The Zoroastrian Fire Temple located in the province of Yazd, is the place of worship for Zoroastrians. This fire temple houses Atash Behram means “Fire of victory” dated to 470 AD. It is one of nine Atash Behram, which is the most elevated evaluation of fire that can be set in a Zoroastrian fire temple as an everlasting fire. The eternal flame is a quenched holy fire burning for thousands of years. The remaining eight Atash Bahram are present in India. This is the temple where Zoroastrians have practiced their religion since over 400 BC.

From 1960, non Zoroastrian visitors are allowed in the temple. The fire in the Zoroastrian Fire Temple was taken from Bahram fire (fire of Sassanid kings).
