[[Zoroastrianism|Zoroastrians]] have as their main pilgrimage destinations the city of [[Yazd]] and the temples of [[Chak Chak, Yazd|Pir-e Sabz]] and [[Pir-e Naraki]] in [[Iran]], as well as the cities of [[Navsari]] and [[Udvada]] in India.

In [[Iran]], there are pilgrimage destinations called ''[[Pir (Zoroastrianism)|pirs]]'' in several provinces, although the most familiar ones are in the province of [[Yazd]].<ref>Aspandyar Sohrab Gotla (2000).

LCCN 2005388611 pg. 164</ref> In addition to the traditional Yazdi shrines, new sites may be in the process of becoming pilgrimage destinations. The ruins are the ruins of ancient [[fire temples]]. One such site is the ruin of the [[Sassanian]] era [[Azargoshnasp fire temple]] in Iran's Azarbaijan Province. Other sites are the ruins of [[Bahram fire temple|fire temples at Rey]], south of the capital [[Tehran]], and the Firouzabad ruins sixty kilometres south of [[Shiraz]] in the province of [[Fārs Province|Pars]].

It has 16 different "kinds of fire", that is, fires gathered from 16 different sources.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hartman |first=Sven S. |date=1980 |title=Parsism: The Religions of Zoroaster |publisher=BRILL |page=20 |isbn=9004062084}}</ref> Currently there are 9 Atash Behram, one in Yazd, Iran and the rest in Western [[India]].
