Dear Godbrother and Godsisters who worship Sri Sri Radha and Krsna deities in your auspicious houses,
Based on your personal experiences, could you please kindly tell me how do you worship your Radha and Krsna deities at home daily and what is your standards?
Please don't misunderstand, I am not asking here to explain me how to take care of a deity, I am just asking the general outline of the daily procedures.
Thank you so much in advance for your kindness.
Your aspiring servant,

Hare Krishna dear Mutlu Mataji, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
i do not have yet Radha Krishna Deities but i saw Devotees who have Them at their houses.
Usually they wake Them up, change clothes, offer water, fire, incenses, flowers, then food once a day or twice. Then in the evening they put Them to sleep changing clothes. And once in a week do abhishek.
----
One more family worships Them little opulently. They wake up the Deities, offer breakfast then do abhishek with milk, honey, water. Then apply oil on Their bodies. Then offer Them nice dresses, decorations. This process takes nearly 1-2 hours. Then they offer full arati which includes: conhshell, fire, water, cloth, incenses, flowers, chamara. Then for lunch food. Then in the evening milk with some fruits. Then put Them to sleep changing clothes.
----
Srila Prabhupada used to worship to his Radha Govinda:
Waking Them up, offering arati, food, then after his studies put Them to take rest at night.

Please pray so that i always be engaged in the service of sincere Devotees like You!
