Hare Krishna to all,
I would like to ask why dieties water cup have a cover like a plate ? What is the correct have water cups with cover or without cover? Is wrong Jagannath, Baladev e Subhadrah have water cups?
We need to put all day water? what to do with that water? can we drink it?
thank you,

Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
Water cups kept in front of deities are covered so that nothing falls in the water, like flies or mosquitos. Like how if we have to keep a water cup for ourselves and it will be kept for long time, we will cover it na, same way we cover the water cups kept in front of the deities.
It is ok to keep water cups in front of Jagannatha, Baladev and Subhadra ma deities.
That water can be consumed by us when we change the water everyday. It can be mixed in our normal drinking water and then had.
Haribol,
your servant,
Rashmi
