The door of the royal palace was opened by the guards as they met a line of people waiting in a large lobby like area and there was another door at the end of it,
with other hallways branching off to other places so this was apparently the main entrance that led to everywhere else within the place
guards in the lobby then opened the doors on the other end of the lobby allowing them to walk right through the lobby and out the other side unto a paved walkway
and as they passed through this lobby area,
the people all did the royal greeting raising their hands in the air as if holding a person's hand above their heads
so it created something of an archway as they walked through the when they walked out the doors to the walkway
this was covered by a colorful stretch of fabric creating a canopy to shade from the sun all along the walkway
