• About the Product
The hair bun is a devotional hair accessory used in Hindu worship to decorate goddess idols with grace and traditional elegance. Often referred to as a hair ring or hair decor, it is made from black synthetic strands crafted into a circular coil that mimics a natural hair bun. Also known by names such as thirukudumi or deity hair knot, this adornment is placed at the back of the idol’s head to represent completeness, femininity, and auspiciousness.
• Origin of Hair Decor for Deities
The practice of adorning deities with artificial hair decor began in ancient temple traditions, particularly in South India. Historical texts and temple art from the Chola dynasty depict goddesses wearing coiled hair buns as part of ceremonial attire. Over time, this evolved into a standard element in temple rituals, where the hair bun became an expression of reverence and care in dressing the deity.
• This devotional item is deeply rooted in the religious traditions of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. It is commonly seen in Amman temples and household shrines. The hair accessory holds special spiritual value during major South Indian festivals and is used during daily pooja or special occasions like Panguni Uthiram, Aadi, and Navratri to honor powerful goddess forms such as Mariamman, Kali, and Durga.
• Usage and Application
The hair bun is gently affixed to the rear side of the goddess idol’s head, typically after adorning the idol with sarees, ornaments, and flowers. It is placed below the crown using either a thread or a clip, depending on the structure of the idol. This hair decor completes the sacred appearance and adds a traditional finishing touch during alankaram, or divine dressing.
• Storage and Maintenance
To preserve the hair ring, store it in a dry, clean box away from moisture or dust. It is recommended to wrap it in a soft cloth and keep it in a pooja storage container. Do not press or wash it, as the shape and structure may be affected. Gently wipe it with a dry cloth before or after use.
• The black hair bun is particularly used for Amman idols and other Shakti forms such as Durga, Kali, and Mariamman. It holds ritual importance during Navratri, Varalakshmi Vratham, and other goddess-related celebrations. More than a decorative item, this hair accessory is a symbolic offering of beauty and devotion to the divine feminine.
