Iran temple explains history, culture

Zoroastrian temple of Chak Chak in the Iranian province of Yazd is one of the famous Zoroastrian pilgrimage sites dating back to the pre-Islamic period.

The marble-floored shrine enclosure has walls blackened by fires that are kept blazing continuously in the sanctuary.

Enjoying vast cultural diversity, Iran is a workable example of tolerance and peaceful co-existence with religious minorities.

In the photos, you can catch how Zoroastrians practice their religious rituals in the temple.
