They may be thousands of miles from America, but residents of Thulasendrapuram in Tamil Nadu are taking special notice of today's US presidential election.

Now villagers are praying for her success in the temple established thanks to donations from her family - while her picture is proudly displayed on posters around the village. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Tamil service correspondent Pramila Krishnan is in the village. (Photo: A motorcyclist drives past a billboard celebrating Kamala Harris in Thulasendrapuram. Credit: Reuters)
