"The Baha'i Faith places no importance on religious rituals"!

Following the passing of Bahá’u’lláh in 1892, the focal point of the pilgrimage experience was His Shrine in Bahjí. After the interment of the remains of the Báb on Mount Carmel in 1909, the focus was enlarged to include His Shrine. Visitation to these two shrines included the practice of circumambulation, the removal of footwear upon entry, and the recitation of a particular text from the scriptures entitled the “Tablet of Visitation”.
