Bhānu: In the morning the Deity should be woken up not before five? The Deities should be woken up at five in the morning? Some temples it is 4:30, some temples five.
Prabhupāda: Just one and a half hours before sunrise. If the sunrise varies, then the waking time also should vary.
Sudāmā: So according to season, we should...
Prabhupāda: The rule is that one and a half hours before sunrise. So that you have to make, when the sunrise, then just one and a half hour before, maṅgala-ārati.
Sudāmā: So that's when the ārati begins, when the curtains are opened and we start offering.
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Sudāmā: One and a half hours before sunrise is when the ārati begins. Then you wake them up before.
Prabhupāda: No, no. Just waking, ārati begins. And you can offer something.
Bhānu: We should offer the plate after the ārati?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Devotee: After.
Devotee: Is it all right for the Deities' hair to show?
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Devotee: Sometimes, at some temples, the Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deities, sometimes Their hair shows.
Prabhupāda: Shows?
Devotee: Yes. Like Rādhārāṇī's hair is down in front. Is that all right?
Prabhupāda: That doesn't matter. That is for beauty, as it is possible.
