0 a raised surface at one end of a meeting room that someone can stand on when speaking to a group --
This included an entry on one end of a long narrow, covered space with a raised dais at the other end.
Its interior consists of a single auditorium, with a dais at the front (between the two front doors), and rows of pews facing it.
A flight of steps led to a central building where there was an imposing pillared hall with a dais at the end.
At military parades, the dais is the raised, sometimes covered, platform from where the troops are reviewed, addresses made and salutes taken.
The main room has a cove ceiling and a raised dais at its west (front) end.
Even the construction of the dais is intended to rick the necks of those who sit in the well of the court having to look at the judge.
I do not believe they could make any claim for compensation on dais basis; but if they want to make it, they ought to supply the information themselves.
Later the idea came along of having the unfortunate deputy-chairman as the man in permanent subjugation to the chairman and vice-chairman on the dais.
