Azaris from the Republic of Azarbaijan take pride in their Iranian cultural roots, including civilizational elements from pre-Islamic, Zoroastrian times:
Former Zoroastrian fire temple (Ateshgah) of Baku
Noruz festival (a common cultural trait of all peoples from the Greater Iranian civilizational realm) in Azarbaijan Republic
What I don't quite get however, is this depiction of a Hindu deity (if I'm not mistaken), at the historic Atashgah landmark (perhaps on some special occasion to welcome a group tourists from India?)
Also here, the Hinduist symbol at the top of the Atashgah
These two aren't ancient Iranian / Zoroastrian elements, don't know why they were exhibited there.

Ateshgah Fire Temple Admission Ticket
Secure your entry to Ateshgah, also called Suraxani Fire Temple or the “Fire Temple of Baku,” with this pre-booked admission ticket. That leaves more time for a stress-free exploration of the fortress-like place of worship, which has been declared a historical and architectural reserve by decree...
