I was watching the Abhay Charan series by His Holiness Bhakti Charu Maharaj and saw the part where Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Thakurji first met Srila Prabhupada. In this video description it showed Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Thakurji worshipping Sri Sri Radha and Krishna with Lord Caitanya next to them.
I began to think why we do not have such deities in any of our ISKCON centers? I have seen Sri Sri Gaura Nitai in almost all ISKCON temples, and Sri Sri Radha Govindadev is here in New York. However there is no deity of Lord Caitanya directly next to Sri Sri Radha Krishna ever in ISKCON. Why is this?

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
In Kolkata temple, its like that only. Kolkata was the first temple set up in India by Srila Prabhupada. The presiding deities are Sri Sri Radha Govinda and Lord Chaitanya is standing beside Lord Govinda in the same altar. Pls see photograhs.
Regarding why its not like that in all ISKCON temples, I dont know prabhu. Maybe someone else may be in a position to reply.
