Lalish (Kurdish: لالش, romanized: Laliş,[1][2] also known as Lalişa Nûranî) is a mountain valley[3] and temple[4] located in the Nineveh Plains, Iraq.

The temple is built at about 861 meters above sea level and situated among three mountains, Hizrat in the west, Misat in the south and Arafat in the north.

[8][9] At least once in their lifetimes, Yazidis are expected to make a six-day pilgrimage to Lalish to visit the tomb of Şêx Adî and other sacred places.

[9] Yazidis living in the region are also expected to make a yearly pilgrimage to attend the autumn seven-day Feast of the Assembly,[11] which is celebrated between 6th and 13th of October.

The occupation of the temple eventually led to a fierce and widespread rebellion by Yezidis of Shekhan and Shingal against the Ottomans and the neighbouring Muslim Kurdish tribes.
