The Kaka’i  also known as Yarsani are very secretive about their faith. They are followers of a syncretic religion, which dates to the fourteenth century in western Iran and contains elements of Zoroastrianism and Shi’ism . Nevertheless, their distinct practices and beliefs have resulted in some persecution.

They are generally considered to be Kurdish in ethnicity, speaking a dialect known as Macho.
