The ancient religion of Zoroastrianism is still widespread in the Pamirs. And on the highway in ishkashimsky district you can find an old Zoroastrian temple. The temple of fire worshippers is a fenced yard with a sacrificial altar. Adherents of Zoroastrianism worship fire and light. If you close the temple from above-there will be no light in it, so there is no roof. The temple is decorated with mismatched horns of mountain goats and rams. In Christianity horns-symbol of evil spirits, and in Zoroastrianism horns-an amulet, which protects from evil spirits.
