As Americans vote in a tight presidential race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump , priests in India’s national capital, Delhi, performed a havan ceremony and prayed for the former president’s victory in the election.

Mahamandelshwar Swami Vedmutinand Saraswati led the ritual, starting with the symbolic blowing of a conch shell to mark an auspicious beginning. Surrounded by followers holding posters of Trump, Saraswati offered prayers and applied a sacred vermillion mark to Trump’s photos as a gesture of support. One poster featured Trump alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the message “Friend forever" at the bottom.
