Chitradevi : This is the 1970 Rathayatra in San Francisco. Dina Dayadri and I made the clothes Srila Prabhupada is wearing. She hemmed the dhoti by hand, the silk was so wide that it was dragging on the ground. I made the shirt, which was a cowboy style with pearl buttons. If you look close you’ll see the shirt has cuffs with buttons. The thought was that Prabhupada was like Kishna’s cowherd boy so why not a cowboy shirt. I had made cowboy shirts professionally before I became a devotee.
