As the crowd bowed down and took her blessings with folded hands, the hydraulic lift took her to the stage and her throne. It was the most beautiful sight in the world. Shree Radhe Maa in bright red finery glowing with love, energy and kindness. Cut-outs of two devotees with bugles moved back and forth on both sides of the throne. And then suddenly two lovely angels dressed in pure while appeared from nowhere and disappeared. The stage was nothing less than a temple with wonderful scriptures and statues of Lord Shiva, Shri Ram, Ganpatiji, Hanumanji and Maa Sherawali, making the ambience holy, pious and religious.
