It is well-known practically all over the world.This territory is known for such unique natural phenomenon as burning natural gas outlets (underground gas coming onto surface contacts oxygen and lights up). The temple in its present state was constructed in the 17th-18th centuries. It was built by the Baku-based Hindu community related to Sikhs.
However, the history of the Temple is even longer. From times immemorial this was the holy place of Zoroastrians- fire worshippers (approximately beginning of our era). They attributed mystical significance to the inextinguishable fire and came there to worship the relic.

Our experience with Panorama Tours was amazing. Yousaf was the best tour guide we ever came across (and we have visited many countries).
He was honest, polite, kind and very knowledgeable. We felt fully at ease during our 8-day trip. Though, we had young kids, Yousaf was always there to help us out and the entire family felt very comfortable with him being around.
We will always choose Panorama Tours whenever we return to Azerbaijan. We are really thankful to them for taking the stress out of the entire trip and making it a wonderful and memorable tour. I always recommend Panorama Tours to anyone and everyone without any hesitation.
