JAKARTA - Residents in the ancestral village of a US presidential candidate from the Democratic Party Kamala Harris in southern India are preparing to hold prayers on Tuesday's election day at a Hindu temple more than 8,000 miles (13,000 km) from Washington.
The grandfather of Harris' mother, Rev.OCese was born more than a century ago in the village of Thulasendrapuram in the region that is now the state of Tamil Nadu, southern India.
There will be a special prayer on Tuesday morning at the temple, said G. Manikandan, a villager who manages a small shop near the temple. The celebration will follow if he wins.
Reported by Reuters on Monday, November 4, at the temple, Harris' name was engraved on a stone that included community donations, along with his grandfather's name.
Outside, the big banner wishes the success of "daughter of the country" in the election.
His family and migrated several hundred miles to the coastal city of Chennai, the capital Tamil Nadu, where he worked as a top government official to retire.

The village received world attention four years ago, as residents prayed for Harris's Democratic Party victory in 2020 before celebrating its inauguration as US Vice President by lighting firecrackers and distributing food.
Harris and his Republican rival, Donald Trump, are working hard to get his supporters to come to the polling station in a very tight competition in history, meaning it will take days until the winner appears.
