Pothraj : Indian community - Parents take a vow to grow their son's hair long like goddess

POTRAJ / POTHRAJ

I started searching for Potraj / Pothraj on internet and I came across following videos of boys with long hair from Pothraj community.

Parents take a vow to grow their son's hair long like goddess and make him servant of goddess. He lives like a goddess and takes others pains and curses on him.

Is not a girl but he is a Pothraj – YouTube

In the first video, a boy with a long hair neatly plaited in braid. His name was Mahadev and his parents taken a vow at Draupadi amman temple in Chandrapur that if they are blessed with a boy child they will devote him to the goddess and raise him like a Pothraj. He was born after 6 consecutive girls. The interviewer persuaded him to cut his long hair but he was quite firm on the stand that he’ll not cut his hair until death. I was quite impressed with the boy. I wished that he could continue growing it but wear it like a Sikh man and wear a turban.

Pothraj – Marathi Documentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDOUfGnb21g

In this documentary there is a boy with long hair studying in 3^rd standard. When asked whether he wants to take up Pothraj tradition once he grows, his answer was affirmative. He answered that his grandfather and father are in this profession and hence he would like to take up this profession. His hair were unkempt. I felt that he should oil his hair and neatly comb it like the boy from the first video. Again great dedication.

Usmanabad – A Story of a Pothraj 12 May 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9laZ4mXTMzg

This video was about a boy raised like a Pothraj by parents as per the vow taken at the time of his birth. He was 11 years old with hair reaching his waist. He wanted to be a normal boy and cut his hair.

 After seeing these videos, I was quite moved with the dedication of Pothraj boys 

I wished I were also raised like a Pothraj. 

These videos gave me a spiritual high for quite sometime.

Long hair lovers, please watch these videos and give your comments.

Story 13 : My wish of growing hair like woman fulfilled with the help of maid servant.

I'm a simple guy who always wanted to grow my hair but never could until I had to leave to college in a city where I spent my childhood.

My parents didn't want me to stay in a hostel they spoke to an old maid of ours and made the arrangements I had my own flat now and a maid to do all the work for me I was excited about the whole thing me staying alone with no one to judge me and no restrictions. I reached the flat it was great well furnished and spacious two bedroom flat maid stayed nearby.

My maid was very friendly middle aged woman she very friendly and caring. I started growing my hair long and referred internet for help I bought biotin and fish oil pills and Olive and castor oil they worked and in a month or so my hair reached my shoulder the oils and conditioners helped me get smooth wavy voluminous hair my maid commented even a girl wouldn't take so much about her hair.

I smiled as my hair got longer I needed help I didn't know what to do then came my maid I realized she was the only one who could help me so I asked her she said she would love to help me out due to the pills my hair growth was fast and healthy as it was long my maid used to brush and give me a hot oil massag every alternate day before leaving for college.

Everyone were impressed about my hair and girls started talking to me for tips and they just love my hair my maid was shocked how fast my hair was growing and said your hair will never stop growing at that moment I wanted to know how long my hair could grow by then my hair was reaching my middle back.

I complained about my hair getting unmanageable then my maid suggested to get my hair braided or tie it in a ponytail. "BRAID" I exclaimed she responded there's nothing called men's or women's hairstyle it's just a hairstyle which helps us to manage our hair I said ponytail would be easy she taught me how to wear one. 

Apart from what my parents were paying I started giving her extra amount for taking care of my hair from my pocket. Rubber bands wr damaging my hair so my maid bought cotton bands to keep my hair safe we started knowing each other well there were no formalities between us but she never crossed her line. 

After few days she suggested me to get my hair trimmed at the ends to avoid split ends I got it done now my hair was symmetric it kinda looked girly from the back. After getting my hair oiled my ponytail was getting clumsy she suggested to braid my hair and we tried it on a weekend and it sure helped I felt shy but she said there's nothing wrong and I looked great I felt happy that I got used to braids. 

My dressing table was now filled with hair care products, bands, different types of combs any girl would die to have these things. I suggested my maid to stay In the extra bedroom as I was getting late to college waiting for her she was happy because she could stay for free. 

On a Sunday after a head bath she was drying my hair and we werr watching TV. I saw an actress wearing pigtails and said how would I look in twin braids and smiled at her and started watching TV after a while she started brushing my hair and I fell asleep.

After some time she woke me up and was standing in front of me with a mirror and said this is how you look in twin braids I was feeling ashamed she saw that and said its just a hairstyle and u look fabulous. She was right I looked great and they she spoke I felt comfortable she was right it's just a hairstyle there's nothing wrong in wearing what you like girly and manly things were created by human it's wish to stay and do whatever we want to. 

I said I liked my hairstyle and I want you to try different styles on me she was happy the way . I reacted she said wish could have a son like me. I took her hand and said treat me like ur son. She hugged me tight and said she was staying away from family to earn and being with me she wasn't missing her family. She was right bcuz of her I wasn't missing my parents from that our bond got stronger. 

I started wearing braid to college some teased me some appreciated some never expressed but I was confident in what I was doing. People will think what they want I don't have to care what others think about me it's there wish. At home I started helping my maid in small things like keeping my room clean and all. 

Once my maid was braiding my hair and she said I was just like her son throughout the day except in the mornings. I asked why exception then she replied in the mornings u seem more like a daughter to me and she started laughing and I joined her. 

Once we were watching a movie and actress was wearing a traditional dress and coming to the hair she was wearing something thing to her braid I asked my maid she said they are called Jada gantalu those are hair accessories. 

I asked can she get those for me she said that's going to be girly then with a wicked smile on my face I said holding my pigtails aren't these girly?. Haha she gave up OK baba I'll get those for you but on one condition.

I was so eager try those I said whatever it is i will do and she left to the shop and was back with few bags I asked her what are all those she asked me to wait and gifted me a Saree with beautiful earrings and bangles I was surprised this is want I want you to wear now this was my condition and u accepted it and with a smile I asked her are you serious? 

She said you looked cute when you were holding your braids and said aren't these girly I just want to see how would you look like a girl I smiled back and she helped me get dressed and after everything was done I was sitting at the dressing table and she was braiding my hair and at the end came Jada gantalu.

Few other accessories I looked like a bride then came the photoshoot it was our Lil secret I changed back to my clothes in the evening but I let my hair be in a braid with Jada gantalu I loved it and once in few days I used to dress for her just for fun. I've tried many hairstyles and I'll keep trying
