The afternoon worship session is the same as usual. After the presentation of the mahanaivedya, meals are served to the priests. In the sabliamandap a special throne-like seat known as the 'makhar’ is erected. This makhar is a miniature pavilion, the chief components of which are the cusped arches and cypress pillars. In the evening the image is brought out of the garbhagriha and placed in this makhar, to preside over the concert that is to follow. For this also, persons well-versed in the art of performing kirtans attend in large numbers. Then at eight the palanquin procession is taken out in great pomp.
