Kerman Fire Temple, Fire temple and anthropology museum in Kerman, Iran
The Kerman Fire Temple features a circular structure with columns constructed from brick and mortar, surrounded by an 8000 square meter garden with cedar trees.
The temple opened in 1924 during Reza Shah Pahlavi's rule, constructed with contributions from Persian magus and the Kerman Zoroastrians Association after ten years of building.
Three Zoroastrian principles decorate the entrance: Humata, Huxta, and Huvarshta, representing good thoughts, good words, and good deeds in the Pahlavi script.
The two-story building houses both religious spaces and an ethnography museum displaying Zoroastrian artifacts, including ancient manuscripts, kitchenware, textiles, and historical photographs.
The sacred fire maintained in this temple traces its origins to India, connected to Adur Farnbag, one of three most sacred fires from Sassanid times.
