Worshipping politicians is rather common in India as long as it isn't the first time that something like that happens! Political leaders, as well as film stars, have been given their divine statues and temples created by their fans.
Bussa Krishna, a man from the southern Indian state of Telangana, is so amazed by US President Donald Trump that he worships him like a god every day.
The 31-year-old small farmer from a remote Konne village in Telangana’s Jangaon district has installed a photo of Trump in his puja room and worships it daily along with other Hindu gods. He offers vermillion, flowers, and turmeric, and at the end of his prayer does “aarti” to the photo.
Ironically, Krishna doesn't know much about Trump.
“I only know that he is the most strong and invincible leader in the world. What I liked about him was his bold attitude. Since he took part in World Wrestling Federation (WWF) competitions, he must be very powerful,” the school dropout said.

Krishna posts daily photos and videos on his Facebook profile (Krish Raju) of his Trump shrine and the several ways he worships the picture. In recent footage he put up, he was seen washing Trump’s photograph with milk – a ritual frequently performed by Hindus for all of their gods in temples.
“Nobody took me seriously, and some people even called me a mad fellow, wondering how prayers in a remote village would reach Trump. But I have a strong faith in what I am doing,” he claimed.
Krishna even said that he received a message from Trump on Twitter on June 19, 2018.
“Krish from India is a very close friend of mine; out of the billions and billions of Indians, he is my favorite. He’s able to channel dragon energy from worshipping my photos; may be low-energy Jeb Bush should give it a try; I’d be happy send him a pic! See you soon Krish!” the message read.
It couldn't be independently verified whether the message was real, but Krishna was in fact on cloud nine.
“I am extremely happy to receive a message from Trump. I am sure he will remember me if he comes to India,” he said.
