Haryana Salon Gives Bal Krishna Doll A Makeover, Internet Asks ‘But Why?'
In the viral clip, a medium-sized doll of Bal Krishna is given a full salon-style treatment.
Bal Krishna, Lord Krishna's childhood form, is worshipped with great love and devotion in many Hindu households. People often place a small murti (idol) of Bal Krishna in their homes and care for it lovingly just like they would care for a child. A video has now gained widespread attention on social media which features a Bal Krishna doll getting a makeover at a salon.
The video was shared by a salon based in Haryana on Instagram. In the clip, a medium-sized doll of Bal Krishna is given a full salon-style treatment. Two people are seen washing the doll's jet-black long hair using shampoo and conditioner. After the wash, the hair is wrapped in a dry towel. Then, a blow dryer is used to dry the hair completely.
After the blush, lipstick is applied to the lips. The hair is then styled in a neat braid and decorated with floral hair accessories. The final result shows Bal Krishna in a new look.
The caption accompanying the video reads, 'When the Lord of Vrindavan chooses Zen Unisex Salon, miracles happen! This video is intended solely to express devotion and love. We do not wish to hurt anyone's sentiments. If anyone has been hurt unintentionally, we sincerely apologise."

The video gained significant traction online as it accumulated nearly two million views. Although the salon had added a disclaimer to the post, it did not stop a wave of criticism from social media users. Many people called it disrespectful towards religious sentiments.
'Stop this nonsense. What is wrong with you!!" someone else wrote.
A viewer remarked, 'Enough disrespect! Take your salon stunts somewhere else not on Gods!!"
Shocked by the video, a person asked in disbelief, 'What's going on???"
Overall, many people on the internet felt that the video went too far and did not show proper respect to a religious figure.

Scroll Adda: Why Devdutt Pattanaik thinks humans can't live without mythology
Play As a prolific mythologist with more than 60 books, Devdutt Pattanaik has single-handedly created a new genre of writing in India. His thoughtful commentaries on India's epics have allowed everyday people to think and reflect on their mythology. In this 1.5-hour conversation with Shoaib Daniyal, Pattanaik explains why Indians might have a genius for mythology and why we all live in mythos. Many rationalists merge the idea of myth and fiction but Pattanaik argues that both are very different. Myth can be thought of as an operating system for humans, he explains. Pattanaik says that he faced censure from Brahmins for writing about Hindu scriptures as a non-Brahmin. He also opens up about his own experiences of growing up gay and how that informed his view on mythology.

Here is why Mandala Murders actor Vaani Kapoor recommends OTT series Black Warrant
In our weekly series, actor Vaani Kapoor reveals what has got him hooked to Jahaan Kapoor-led OTT series Black Warrant and why he recommends it to all. Actor Vaani Kapoor and (right) a still from OTT series Black Warrant (Photo: Instagram) What I'm watching I recently watched Black Warrant and finished it in one go. I was in my bedroom from day to night and finished it with back-to-back episodes. I enjoyed every bit of it! Why I'm hooked I like Vikramaditya Motwane as a storyteller and film director. OTT is the director's medium, and I was able to connect with the characters. For me the show is as good as its director, so that got me hooked. I liked his series Jubilee as well. A still from OTT series Black Warrant Favourite character It's tough to pick one character from such a strong cast. I loved Jahaan Kapoor's character as Sunil Gupta — the way he portrayed the role of the jailer. I also liked the character of Vipin Dahiya (played by Anurag Thakur) and the way he blended the Haryanvi flavour into his character. Why I recommend it I recommend the show for its storyline — adapted from Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury — its direction, and an amazing star cast. It takes you on a journey and shows us a side of jail life — both from the cops and prisoners perspectives — that we have not seen before. My binge-watch partner I live alone, and when I'm watching something, it's just me and myself for company. I don't feel lonely at all because OTT is my way of unwinding. We get so little time for ourselves these days, and I don't like to be disturbed when I get lost in the world of a film or show. My viewing routine I am badly hooked to OTT and often end up binge watching. Every time, it's like aaj kya dekhna hai! And once I start something it's back-to-back viewing.
