It is a Hindu religious practice to remove hair on head in temples
and sacred places. But why do Hindus shave or tonsure hair at sacred places?
There is a prevalent belief that one’s sins stick to one’s hair and are exterminated
by the removal.
The ritual procedure is to take the razor in the hand along
with the darba grass and cut the hair on the right side first, then a little
from the front, and then from the whole head.
