Why it's traditionally used

Laddu Gopal is Krishna as a crawling child with a laddu in his hand, and in the Vrindavan seva tradition he is cared for as a child of the family. He is woken, bathed, dressed and offered bhog each day, and put to rest at night. Janmashtami, his birthday, is celebrated at midnight with abhishek and a new poshak.
