A huge Yazidi temple is under construction in a small Armenian village, intended as a symbol of resilience for a persecuted religious tradition.
  • The temple is being built in Aknalich, about 35km from Yerevan, the Armenian capital.
  • 7 domes will surround a central arched roof, crowned with a gold-plated sun.
  • At 25m height, it will be built from Armenian granite and Iranian marble and house a 200 sq. m prayer hall.
  • Called Quba Mere Diwane, this will be the largest Yazidi temple in the world.
