· Mud volcano – Mud volcanoes are incredible geological phenomena that summon a mixture of mud, gases and water to the Earth’s surface. Unlike traditional volcanoes, they do not spew out molten lava but instead deliver a unique spectacle of thick, bubbling mud. They arise when pressurized pockets of gas and liquids beneath the Earth’s surface force their way upward, pushing mud and sediments along with them.

The temple in its present state was constructed in the 17th–18th centuries and built by the Baku-based Hindu community related to Sikhs.
