Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How old were you when you got your Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deity?
Prabhupāda: About six, seven years old.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh. Was it very elaborate worship?
Prabhupāda: Not elaborate. But I'll decorate. I'll keep it in a place. Whatever I eat, I offered. I imitate, ghee lamp, ārati.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Putting to rest.
Prabhupāda: There was engagement in a small corner of the room.
