Deity clothing

[Kalidas]

One of these days I should dress my Kali murti up all nice like I do in puja and take a picture and show you guys.

I know one guy did this neat thing where you he has a Kali murti and right behind her in a picture of Mahakali. He set it up so the extra arms, and heads appear on the sides of the Kali murti. I quit like the image.

I have not posted 'Radha Krsna ' ........

these are Sri Caitanya Mahaprabu and Prabhu Nityananda known afectionately as their lordships ...

although to Gaudia vaisnava Sri Caitanya is considered to be krsna in hidden form come in the guise of his own devotee , to give the chanting of the holy name ...

Sri Caitanya is to the right and prabhu Nityananda to the left . they allways appear with their hands raised as they are chanting and dancing , ....they are allways seen leading sankirtana . congregational chanting

Radha allways holds her hands one down and one raised towards Krsna (often she is offering him a garland or a flower ) Krsna stands to her right and Krsna allways appears playing a flute ....

these beautifull Radha krsna are in Vrindarvan .

sometimes her hand is raised as in the bestowing of blessings...

So pretty

I did not know that. I did know that the temple (and by inference the deity within it) is moody. Sometimes He's electric, sometimes He's calming, etc.

Oh, he is calm, no problem about that. But cannot take any more bathing that the priests inflict on him.

The beautiful Laddu Gopala isn't mine. Found him in google images Thank you though. Aum Hari Aum!

We actually have two 'laddu Gopalas' in our puja enclosure. A larger one with the cradle all jeweled up and with the swining cradle. This is for Janmashtami festival. Another, as I said, a two-inch 'laddu Gopala' which my wife bathes and dresses every day. We also have large and small painting of Radha-Krishna, which my father asked one of his admirers in Jalore, Rajasthan, to paint. The poor boy had no support in that little desert town but was a good painter. He also did a Radha-Krishna cross dressing painting.
