The Ateschgah (also Atashgah, Atashgah or Atəşgah) is a former fire temple in the Azerbaijani capital Baku, where Hindu rituals took place. It was built as a monastery complex in Surachani (Azerbaijani: Suraxanı) in the 17th and 18th centuries. When oil production facilities began operating nearby in 1883, the facility was abandoned. The building complex has been a museum since 1975. In the literal translation Ateshgah means “Hoard of Fire”. The fire was fueled by naturally occurring natural gas.

Baku's Ateshgah, often referred to as the "Fire Temple," is a striking historical and religious complex on the outskirts of the city. It is one of the most famous monuments in Azerbaijan and a powerful reminder of the country's centuries-old tradition of fire worship.
