The Hari Bhakti Vilāsa says that on this day one should rub ghee on the deity of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Puṣyā of course means nourishing, and this act of devotion, with ghee, which is very nourishing is equivalent to the results of an Aśvamedha-yajña.
During the morning pūjā, or worship, the Deity or a śālagrāma is bathed in pure ghee. Śrīla Prabhupāda once explained the festival this way: "Kṛṣṇa was just a toy in the hands of the gopīs, so one day the Gopis decided that we shall decorate Him. Puṣyābhiṣeka means a ceremony to decorate the deity profusely with flowers, ornaments, cloths. After, there should be lavish feasting and a procession through the streets, so that all the citizens should see how beautiful Kṛṣṇa appears."
Durante la pūjā de la mañana, o adoración, la Deidad o śālagrāma es bañada en ghee puro. Śrīla Prabhupāda una vez explicó: “Kṛṣṇa era sólo un juguete en las manos de las gopīs, así que un día las gopīs decidieron que nosotros Le decoremos. Puṣyābhiṣeka significa una ceremonia para decorar a la Deidad profusamente con flores, ornamentos, trajes. Después de ello debe haber un suntuoso festín y una procesión por las calles, de modo que todos los ciudadanos vean lo hermoso que Kṛṣṇa se manifiesta.
