Thiruvarur (Tamil Nadu): Special prayers were held at a temple in the home town of US Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris in Thiruvarur district in Tamil Nadu.
The remote village shot to fame following the nomination of US senator Kamala Harris as the vice-presidential candidate by the Democratic Party in the American Presidential elections 2020.
The nondescript village has been gaining attention after it was revealed that Harris's maternal grandparents belong to this place.
The agrarian village of Painganadu is located near Mannargudi in Tiruvarur district in the Cauvery delta. With digital banners in the village wishing her party's victory, the entire place has been decked up and townsfolk are beaming with pride.
