Why the hair of the head is offered

to the Deity in the Temples ?

The custom  with  strong belief that we have

 since the long time that we offer the hair of

the head to the Deity for making a

 religious vow for ourselves if evil affect is

averted or if we pass in the examination or

if we recover from the illness or if we win in the election etc.,

Offering the hair to the Deity in the

temple is making a religious vow.

  If that vow is not fulfilled, then we feel

vcry bad about ourselves and also feel

 somthing negative and bad things

 will happen to us and to the family members.

So we fear of that if the religious vow is not fulfilled.

Hence,  in this regard we never

 neglect and postpone the custom to follow.

Offering the hair of the head  to the Deity

 in the Temple means, used in connection

 with tonsure at the holy places (pilgrim places) 

of Tirumala, Annavaram, Simhachalam, etc.,

 also some other famous holy pilgrim centres.

Here we have to think in other aspect also

that the man is struggling for existence in the life.

 For his existence he does  and practise anything

 that was deviant from custom which was

 excommunicated in the ancient time

and also he tells lies, he deceives, becomes guilty.

What ever the consequences of man’s sins

for all his  evil actions reaches to the hair of the head.

Means the results of the sin belong to the hair.

Therefore, the hair which is the abode of

all our  sins is offered to the  Deity in the Temples

 to fulfil the religious vows from  get rid of our sins

 and also we pray to the Lord that we are   leaving off all our  sins.

And Pray to Him from hereafter   that we will

live virtuously and righteously .

So, the meaning for  offering of hair of

the head to the Deity signify that.
