[sv-rituals] Vigraha alankaram rules

Dear All,

I had a question which i hope that some of you could answer for me.

When i was in udipi a few years ago, i purchased a set of photographs of the 
actual udipi sri krishna (some 50 of them) in which numerous alankaras were 
done. I noted that on eclipse days, the vigraha murthy was not decorated with 
jewelry or flowers, but only a white, silken dhoti and uttareeyam.
Is this the standard for alankara on eclipse days? Under what circumstances 
should the lord only be dressed in a simple dhoti with no jewelry and flowers?
Are there any circumstances that would demand such worship or should the lord 
always be fully decorated?

thank you

Sridhar
