The temple belongs to ancient times wherein many archaeologists and historians agree upon the fact that the temple was a part of Sumerian and other ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. Later it became the location of Sheikh Adi bin Musafir's tomb, who is a central figure of the Yazidi faith.
    The site is included on the UNESCO Tentative List under the official name, Lalish Temple.
