SAEDNEWS: During excavations at the Sasanian fire temple of Kuhdasht, a chahartaq structure, a ceremonial incense burner, and decorative stucco reliefs were uncovered. Only about 10 percent of the site has been excavated so far, and the findings are helping to complete the historical record of western Iran.
According to the Social Affairs Desk of Saed News, the remains uncovered from a Sasanian-period fire temple in Kuhdasht, Lorestan, have been discovered.
