PAMHO AGTSP Lord Caitanya is a "grhastha" in Navadvipa,and as such He is worshipped like that with all kind of nice cloth,saffron is for sannyasa lila where the Lord also shaves His beautifull hair,and performs austerities. So please don't desire to see the Lord with shaved head and in saffron, when He is never worshipped in that form as a Arca Vigraha.It is Rasabhasa to put Gaura Nitai in saffron,unless it is not a renounciates cloth,but fancy grhastha cloth,colored saffron with "gold","silver",jewleries etc. Gaudia Vaisnavas cry when they see the shaved headed Lord CAitanya,so do you want to do some rasabhasa and also shave His head?Or just put Him in saffron and keep His long hair??Both is Rasabhasa.We worship Lord Caitanya in Navadvipa,we must be carefull to not introduce speculations.
