Dais in Malayalam
For a dais or raised platform, the broad word here is രംഗം (ramgam), pronounced ran-gam. Its first meaning is a stage, so it reaches from a theatre platform to a public dais and, figuratively, to any scene of action.
Stage, dais, platform, theatre stage, assembly, battlefield, colour, white lead (tin), dance, amusement, entertainment.

Common questions
How do you say dais in Malayalam?
Say രംഗം (ramgam) for a stage or dais; for the wedding dais specifically, കതിര്മണ്ഡപം (kathirmandapam).
Why does ramgam also mean a scene or a row?
Because it names the place where things play out, Malayalam extends it to the action itself, as in a political ramgam.
