Frenly reminder of /ourguy/ from India:

In India, One Man Literally Prays to an Uncanny Sculpture He Made of Donald Trump, His โ€˜Godโ€™

 

It remains to be seen if the president, who visits the country this month, will meet his biggest fan.

 

As US President Donald Trump prepares for his first visit to India, one man is ready to welcome him with open arms. Bussa Krishna, age 33, literally worships Trump, going so far to erect a six-foot statue of the reality-TV-star-turned-politician outside his home for devotional purposes.

 

โ€œIt took almost a month and 15 laborers to build this statue,โ€ Krishna told Asian News International, an Indian news agency. โ€œ[Trump] is like a God to me, that is the reason I had his statue built.โ€

 

The statue depicts Trump in a blue suit with a red tie, right hand raised in a signature thumbs up. As in common in depictions of Hindu gods in art, Trump has pink skin, accentuated by applications of bright red sindoor powder on the statueโ€™s forehead (a Hindu religious mark known as a tilak).

 

Krishna, who lives in the village of Konne in Telengana, near Hyderabad, makes offerings at the custom shrine every day, in a bizarre take on Hinduismโ€™s traditional puja prayer ritual. He began the practice four years ago, after Trump allegedly appeared to him in a dream.
