First, the fire was in Pars Karyan, and then it moved to somewhere else.  After that, however, it transferred to Ardakan in Yazd, Nahid-e Pars temple. Finally, after 300 years, they moved it to the house of a high priest in Yazd. then, in 1934 the current building of fire temple was built for it. Today, the sacred flame burns within a bronze vessel, and a glass wall protected it.
