00:00At this temple in India's south, an extra request is added to the day's prayers.
00:11When Kamala Harris contested the vice-presidential election, we all prayed for her and she won.
00:17Now she is contesting the presidential election.
00:20We all pray for her victory again.
00:23This is Thulacendra Puram, the village where Kamala Harris's maternal grandfather was born.
00:28In the eyes of residents here, they see the vice-president as a daughter.
00:34It's a pride for our village.
00:36She should win.
00:37Her face adorning banners and posters in homes and shops.
00:43Kamala Harris is competing against Trump, but she will win.
00:46The chances of her victory are higher.
00:48We've been watching the news closely.
00:51And her story being taught in the local school, the same one that her grandfather attended.
00:57She has her roots here, so we are proud.
00:59She is a role model for our students and that's why we want her to win.
01:04Although she's never visited this village, Kamala Harris's name is inscribed in stone.
01:09A donation by her aunt to the temple on her behalf.
01:13But locals hope if she's victorious, that will change.
01:17She should come here if she wins.
01:19The uncertainty that some Kamala Harris supporters might be feeling right now in the US isn't
01:24present here.
01:26Willis and Rupuram locals are confident she will win.
01:29And they're ready to celebrate.
01:31We'll burst crackers, distribute sweets and we'll light lamps.
01:36That's how we celebrate.
01:38Eagerly awaiting a result from halfway across the world.
