It is an Indian Temple built near the natural vents of flaming gas in Surakhny area at a 25- km distance from Baku. Openings in the walls permitted a view of the eternal fire on the altar inside and other flames at the four corners of the altar roof. Its exhibition depicts the life of Indian pilgrims and proves close links between India and Azerbaijan in the Middle Ages when the merchant caravans were followed by Parsee pilgrims flocking to the "sacred flames".
