The story goes that once in ancient times, a mountain of ants was formed on the deity of Lord Balaji.

A cow used to visit here and go to the mountain of ants to give the milk.

Seeing this, the owner of the cow got very angry and he hit the cow's head with an axe.

Balaji was wounded by this blow and some of his hair also fell out.

Goddess Neela Devi cut her hair and placed it on Balaji's wound.

As soon as Neela Devi put her hair on the wound, her wound was healed.

Pleased with this, Narayan said that hair is the most important part of the beauty of the body and seeing the Goddess sacrifice her hair really impressed him.

It is the belief that whosoever will give their hair, their wishes are fulfilled.

As a result of this belief, there is a tradition of donating hair in the temple of Balaji.
