Prabhupāda: No, no. The small Deities, śālagrāma, They are worshiped. And big Deity, They are decorated nicely. No need of washing.

Saurabha: So only the opening ceremony.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Harikeśa: Nitāi had them bathe the big Deities here, Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, on Janmāṣṭamī.

Dhanañjaya: And on Balarāma's appearance day, the big Deities were bathed. Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma.

Harikeśa: Terrible speculation.

Dhanañjaya: Actually, Janmāṣṭamī celebrations were very bad, and it's very...

Dhanañjaya: No, but everyone was listening to him. He was posing himself as the most learned in Deity worship.

Prabhupāda: That he's fond of.
