  • Hare Krishna.,

    Very cute little dieties you have prabhuji. As we have discussed earlier., You can easily carry them with you. Not a problem at all.

    If you are carrying then in a protective case and put them in ur check-in baggage. There is not at problem at all.

    But if u carry that case along with u in the hand. You need to declare it to security check- personnel before they do screening.

    For that reason before screening, they give u a big tray ( 2-3 trays) and ask you to put all that you are carrying on your body.( example-- watches, cellphones, belt, gold chains, pens,),even your cabin baggage. during that process., It is good to put them( dieties also)  in the tray and declare it to them show it to them before u get screened to avoid problems.

    But if  you are carrying in ur check-in baggage ( main big suitcases) where you pack all your needy stuff ( like clothes etc.)

    then there is no need to declare as they do check it and then only transport them to the aircraft.

    Hare Krishna.

    Jai Jagannatha.

    • Dear Mataji,

      Hare Krishna, please accept my humble obeisances, unto your lotus feet. 

      Thank you so much, for the information. Thank you so very much again

      Hare Krishna 

      • Well, thanks to Lord Sri Krishna  n Thanks to Guru Srila Prabhupada.

        No need of thanking me. All are His part and parcel.

        its just basic information which I know I shared.

        Hare Krishna.

        • once again mataji, thank you so much 

          Dandavat Pranam to you.
