According to Zoroastrianism, this place is as sacred as Mecca. There are 3 shrines in Iran, India and Azerbaijan.
Every tourist who enters the cellars can feel the wonders of this place. For example, as you enter 12 cells, you will see a very strange sight as you look at the flames burning in the dome of the four-storey building in the yard of Ateshgah. At this point, it seems to you that you are standing on a step of the flame. Or when you get to the 18th cell and stop there for a while, you hear strange sounds. It seems to someone that they are talking. Mixed voices are clearly heard, but they do not understand what they are saying.

The Private Fire Temple and Fire Mountain Tour will reveal why Azerbaijan is known as the land of fire, through a visit to a 17th-century fire temple and a hill that has been ablaze for four millennia.
Through the ages, devotees of fire from distant lands, and even clergies from India, have sought this fire and found it in Absheron, building their primary temple, Surakhani Atashgah, here.
The burning base of the mountain (Yanardagh) has long been the central attraction. Strikingly, this fire has been burning for 4,000 years, undoused by wind, rain, or snow.
