NEW DELHI: With Democrat senator
Barack Obama busy in the run-up to the US presidential polls, a group of
well-wishers in the capital have decided to send him a symbol of his lucky
charm, Lord Hanuman, to help him emerge victorious.

The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported
to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god
along with other good luck charms.

An hour-long prayer meeting to
sanctify the idol was earlier organised at Sankat Mochan Dham and by Congress
leader Brijmohan Bhama, Balmiki Samaj and the temple's priests.

"Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are
presenting an idol of Hanuman to him," said Bhama.

All things to all people at all times in all kinds of ways...all over.
However, questions
on Obama's religious beliefs elicited just a smile from Sauvage-Mar, apparently
to avoid controversy back home where the Democrat senator is pitted against the
Republican Party's John McCain in the Presidential polls.

The idol
will be kept at the temple for 11 more days and then sent to US.

"We
will perform the prayers for 11 days and then hand the idol to Carolyn who will
send it to Obama," said the temple priest.
