Chapter 2 investigates Indian women’s practices of donating hair to a temple-specific deity, and what it means to them in the context of harsh economic inequalities and the spirituality of Indian culture. First, I delineate the gendered meanings of hair, showing how women’s worth is entangled with the length of their hair. This is followed by a close investigation of the practice of mokku, in other words making a vow to a deity that if someone’s wish is granted, they will donate their hair at a specific temple. Women’s wishes revolve around alleviating their own and their families’ problems in life. I further argue that mokku for less privileged women who do not benefit from India’s neoliberal economic growth is about trying to combat life’s adversities. They try to make sense of their marginalisation by resorting to fatalism and appealing to deities. As far as the more affluent middle-class women are concerned, following the tradition of hair tonsure is a way of acknowledging their Indianness and respect for tradition. Throughout I show how providers of hair, some of whom are also consumers of it, navigate in the midst of religious-spiritual values, patriarchal norms, economic disparities and global (dis)connections.
