Jayapataka Swami: It depends, like a sannyāsī doesn’t have to go through this, the days of aśuci. I think that for vaiṣṇavas, generally it is for 11 days. But if there is no one to do the worship and it is an emergency, that emergency knows no rule. Just like a mother who has to take care of her baby, she will not leave the baby to fast, for 11 days! So, if no one else is there to do the worship, then we have to do it, in our home temple. In the community temple, there may be different rules.
