Description

The sources of Indian hair are the temples in India. In India, it is a very common tradition for people to sacrifice their hair in certain specific temples in return for the prayers that have been answered by the respective deities. The Devotee goes to the temple and gets the hair shaved from the temple. The temple authorities collect all such shaved hair from the devotees and periodically auction the hair to the various bidders. The proceeds from the temple auctions are gradually pumped back into the community by the temple authorities in various charitable forms.
