Gopala Amma is desperate to reverse her family's bad fortune. They are in danger of losing the one room they share off a small alley in the Chennai suburb of Param Bur.
Amma works hard as a cleaner but is struggling to make ends meet. Her husband has lost his job and has begun to drink heavily, while her eldest son is failing in his studies. All this has prompted Amma to think of asking asking the Hindu gods for help.
"I have decided to go to the temple at Tirutanni and shave my hair. That way, the gods will bless me and my family," she says.
This will not be just a snip but a full head shave - all 81cm (32in) of her long wavy locks will go. By sacrificing something so beautiful to the gods, by shedding her ego, she hopes they will bless her with good luck in return. Full story...
