Ակնալիճի եզդիական տաճար, Yazidi temple in Aknalich village, Armenia.

The Quba Mere Diwane temple reaches 25 meters in height with a central arched roof surrounded by seven domes covered in Armenian granite and Iranian marble.

The temple was constructed in 2019 to serve the Yazidi community of 35,000 people who migrated to Armenia while escaping persecution from the Ottoman Empire.

The temple includes a museum displaying Yazidi traditions, a seminary for religious education, and spaces dedicated to preserving their ancient monotheistic faith.

Located 35 kilometers from Yerevan, the temple complex maintains a conference hall and ceremonial spaces for religious gatherings and community events.

The structure features a gold-plated sun atop its central dome and contains a prayer hall spanning 200 square meters for religious ceremonies.
