Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.27.52
pratiṣṭhayā sārvabhaumaṁ
sadmanā bhuvana-trayam
pūjādinā brahma-lokaṁ
tribhir mat-sāmyatām iyāt
By installing the Deity of the Lord one becomes king of the entire earth, by building a temple for the Lord one becomes ruler of the three worlds, by worshiping and serving the Deity one goes to the planet of Lord Brahmā, and by performing all three of these activities one achieves a transcendental form like My own.
As we cannot perceive the Supreme spirit (Lord Sri Krishna) in our present condition, Krishna allows us to see Him in His Deity form made of material elements. He tells us that the Deity installed according to the directions of the scriptures is identical to Him.
Deity (archa vigraha) worship is a very important part of devotional service. It cleanses the heart of all dirty desires, purifies our vision and engages the worshiper in constant thought of how best to worship the Lord.
Those who help in the deity worship through monetary support, collect flowers, make garlands, cook for Krishna etc are all equally benefited, because for Krishna anything done for him with complete love and devotion is service and he accepts it and rewards the servitor multifariously.
Srila Prabhupada says: Decorate the Deity as nicely as possible with nice flowers and dress. You will forget all other false beauty.
(Srila Prabhupada’s Letter, 22 October 1968, Seattle)
