Hair tonsuring

Many devotees have their head tonsured as an offer. The daily amount of hair collected is over a ton.^[19] The hair thus gathered is sold by the temple organization a few times a year by public auction to international buyers for use as hair extensions and in cosmetics,^[20] bringing over $6 million to the temple's treasury.^{[citation needed][19]}

When Lord Balaji was hit on his head by a shepherd, a small portion of his scalp became bald. This is noticed by Neela Devi, a Gandharva princess. She feels "such an attractive face should not have a flaw". Immediately she cuts a portion of her hair and with her magical power she implants it on his scalp. Lord Balaji notices her sacrifice. As hair is a beautiful aspect of the female, he promises her that all his devotees who come to his abode should render their hair to him, and she would be the recipient of all the hair received. Hence it is believed that hair offered by the devotees is accepted by Neela Devi. The hill Neeladri, one among seven hills is named after her.

Another excerpt from Daily Bhaskar

A 7 feet bluish-black idol of Shri Tirupati Balaji was founded inside the temple. In India, every religious place is known for observing certain beliefs, traditions and customs. Similarly, tonsuring the head and offering hair at Tirupati Balaji's temple is done with a special purpose. While offering hair, a devotee casts off all the vices, vanities and sins from his whole being. By doing so, he/she wants to become a complete devout. This is also done so that, Shri Balaji, who is all benevolent, showers all his love, benevolence, affection and piety over the devotee by fulfilling all his/her desires.
