Entrance to the Garden of Riḍván where Bahá’u’lláh declared His Mission to the world and after twelve days departed for Constanmtinople. These twelve days are observed as a Bahá’í Festival (Riḍván) in commemoration of this event. The beauty of this garden is apparent through its service to humanity—that is, it was a hospital then and two successive governments have used it similarly and it is still a center where bodily ailments are healed.
