facts
are
The
hair
worn
by
Lord
Balaji
is
silky,
smooth,
tangle-free,
and
absolutely
real.
The
story
behind
those
faultless
locks
goes
like
this
–
Lord
Balaji,
during
his
regime
on
earth,
lost
some
of
his
hair
in
an
unexpected
mishap.
A
Gandharva
Princess
named
Neela
Devi
quickly
took
note
of
this
incident,
and
cut
a
portion
of
her
glorious
mane.
She
offered
her
chopped
locks
humbly
to
the
deity
and
requested
him
to
plant
them
on
his
head.
Pleased
with
her
devotion,
the
god
accepted
the
kind
offering
and
promised
that
whoever
visits
his
shrine
and
sacrifices
his/her
hair
at
his
feet
will
be
blessed.
Ever
since,
it
has
been
a
custom
among
devotees
to
shave
their
head
off
in
the
temple
before
or
after
their
desires
are
fulfilled.

The

devotee’s
heart

so
does
the
earthen
lamps
placed
before
the
idol
of
the
deity
in
the
sanctum
sanctorum
of
the
Tirupati
Balaji
Temple.
There
are
no
reliable
records
about
the
time
when
these
lamps
were
lit
and
who
lit
them.
All
that
is
known
is
that
they
have
been
burning
since
a
long
time
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
