Entering the Shrine of the Báb requires visitors to remove their footwear, symbolizing a transition from the earthly to the sacred. Shoghi Effendi eloquently describes the Shrine as the "Queen of Carmel enthroned on God's Mountain, crowned in glowing gold, robed in shimmering white, girdled in emerald green, enchanting every eye from air, sea, plain and hill." He also refers to it as the Kúh-i-Núr (Mountain of Light), which faces and is overshadowed by the Daryá-yi-Núr (Ocean of Light, referring to the Shrine of Baháʼu'lláh).
