„If she wins that, it’s a pleasure for us, for our village people,“ one villager said.
People gathered Tuesday in a village in India that was once home to the forebears of Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris to pray for her ticket’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, Reuters news agency reported. About 20 residents who live in and around Thulasendrapuram, where Harris‘ maternal grandfather was born, assembled at a temple for a ritual called Abhishekam, which involves the pouring of milk over a Hindu idol while reciting prayers in favor of Harris, according to Reuters. Posters and banners of Joe Biden’s running mate were also erected throughout the village.
