Documentary of Barbers Religious Tonsure
I have been shooting barbers of India for over 20 years now mostly stills..
Mostly street barbers during Pitru Paksha in Mumbai at Banganga and during the few Kumbh Melas I have shot.
Religious tonsure is common among the Hindus and among Muslims who visit dargahs.
Than there is a child's Mundan removal of his first hair growth..
I shot this as Akika when my granddaughters had their heads shaved.
At Makanpur Dargah of Zinda Shah Madar I shot a lot barbers giving the shave to a child.
This is a compilation of 11 videos I am working on during the lockdown..
They all are part of my YouTube playlist.. Barbers of India.
Street barbers in Bandra or elsewhere in Bandra are mostly migrants From UP Bihar or Jharkand.
Due to the pandemic they were badly hit I gave money to a few to get back home.
It will take time before they return this documentary is my tribute to these humble scissor hands.
