The deities were placed on the center altar. Women worshiped on the right side and the men on the left of the temple room. The floor is made of marble. Near the altar was the dais asan, which is a seat for the guru or spiritual master to use while giving class. This is significant because A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada came in 1972, 1974, and 1976 and sat in the dais asan at this temple.
