With Kamala Harris is on the verge of making history, her ancestral village in Tamil Nadu has been celebrating her as 'Singapenne' (Lioness) and on Wednesday, the residents of the village had started bursting crackers and distributing sweets in front of a temple in the village. The villagers had also organized a special puja at Sri Dharma Sastha temple and they were seen holding the portraits of Kamala Harris and they had erected banners to show their scale of celebrations. 

According to a news agency, Sudhakar, the president of Mannai Green City Rotary who organized the events, said the villagers were waiting for the moment and they had also appealed to Kamala Harris to visit her ancestral village after becoming the Vice President of the United States. Sudhakar further said that the villagers had decided to take all the steps to bring Kamala Harris to the village with the help of Rotarians and DMK MP Baalu and added that it will be the greatest honor if she visits the village.
