BARBERIC PLUNDER

 

 

Next time you pay your barber, think twice. The hair he cuts can fetch him a fortune. Especially so, if its hair cut in the temple at Tirupati!

The hair collected gets auctioned – and guess what, there are international buyers queuing up for the ‘Indian Temple Hair’ on the e-auction! The pricing varies. Averaged at Rs 8,000/kg, braided hair is worth Rs 6,000 and, hold your breath – grey hair is Rs 11,000/kg. So the salt and pepper look finally found takers, eh! The temple has annual revenue of over Rs 30 crore through this ‘Hairy’ Model.
