Pir e Sabz (Chak Chak) Zaratusztriańska kaplica w prowincji Jazd w Iranie

Pir-e Sabz (w języku Perskim: پیر سبز‎‎) lub Chak Chak (w języku Perskim: چك چك‎‎ – kapać) znajduje się w prowincji Jazd. Znajduje się tam kaplica i Świątynia Ognia, stanowiące miejsce pielgrzymek Zaratusztrian. Miejsce to wiąże się z legendą o Nikbanou, drugiej córce ostatniego króla Imperium Sassanidów sprzed arabskiej inwazji, Jezdegerda III i królowej Hastbadan. Gdy królewna próbowała uciec ścigającym ją arabskim wojskom, dotarła do Chak Chak, gdzie Arabowie niemalże ją dopadli. Nie mogąc znaleźć schronienia, Nikbanou modliła się do Ahura Mazdy o pomoc. Wtedy, skała rozstąpiła się i Nikbanou ukryła się w jej wnętrzu. Uważa się, że woda wypływająca ze źródła wewnątrz jaskini to łzy królewny, rozpaczającej z powodu tragedii narodu irańskiego, zaś rosnące tam starożytne drzewo to pozostałość jej laski.

Yazd, Iran: Zoroastrian shrine of Chak Chak (Pir-e Sabz)

An overview of the Zoroastrian shrine known as Chak Chak, near Yazd. Chak chak means 'drip drip', and the shrine is also known as Pir-e Sabz or the 'Green Pilgrimage Site'', because of its endlessly dripping waters. It is the most holy mountain shrine in Zoroastrianism.

Chak Chak Falls

This is the first known visit to Chak Chak Falls, located in a remote corner of the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness in the Mount Hood National Forest. The falls is located on Baldy Creek, which flows off the northwest shoulder of Old Baldy peak and into the Eagle Creek canyon. I first documented the falls in April 1981 from a viewpoint on the opposite side of Eagle Creek Canyon, and it only took 27 years to finally visit the falls in person. These video clips document that trip.

Kharanagh & Chak Chak

Kharanagh
The all-but deserted mud-brick village of Kharanaq (Kharanagh) is crumbling back into the valley out of which it emerged over 1000 years ago. What remains in this ghost town, 70km north of Yazd, is a Qajar-era mosque, a cylindrical 17th-century shaking minaret and a caravanserai, near the entrance of the village.

Chak Chak
Chak Chak, also known as Pir-e Sabz, is a Zoroastrian house of worship 52 km to the northeast of Yazd, in central Iran.
The holy site was named Chak Chak [drip drip] because of the sound of water drops that fall from its rocky ceiling.
The site is believed to be the sanctuary where Nikbanou, a Sassanid princess, took refuge to protect herself from an Arab invasion. Later a shepherd is said to have been ordered by Nikbanou, in his dream, to build the holy house.
Chak Chak is very popular with both Zoroastrian pilgrims and Muslim tourists. But between June 14 and 18 each year, it is only open to Zoroastrian worshipers.
