The haircutter works constantly, shaving one head after another, exposing on scalp after another. Every minute the person in front of them changes and hundreds are waiting to be the next.

Amongst them: The 10 year old Balaji and his mother Sumati Jayapathi who have come to the Temple to sacrifice their hair. In return they hope for God Murugan's blessing, to build their own little house. Millions of people come to Palani every year, leaving tons of sacrificed hair, which is then sold by the temple. Since the popularity of external hair grows increasingly worldwide, the business with the temple hair booms.
