The modern village formerly known as Ašotakert and/or Aschrut-Darga is situated ca. 60 km to the east of Van at an altitude of 2600 m above the stream Çaybağı which flows into the river Kotur in Iran. Here a rock niche with an inscription of the Urartian kings Išpuini (9th century BCE) and Minua (9th / 8th century BCE) was found. It reports the construction of a "susi temple" of the god Ḫaldi and the establishment of an offering ritual. In this case, the term "susi temple" apparently refers to the niche.
