There are far too many ways of expressing your love for a loved one, but nothing can beat the creativity of Amma's followers in Tamil Nadu.

As the state gears up for Assembly elections, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has been keeping up with AIADMK's promises to people if she came back to power. In the party's manifesto, she has promised all from free cell phones to free gold to wedding-bound young women.

But free gold or not, people have found a place for her in the ornaments they already own.

Doing rounds on the social media now are a couple of pictures of a lady who has adorned herself with earrings that feature Jayalalithaa's photo. Studded with stones (diamonds?) on the border, Amma's face is quite hard to miss in these golden jhumkas.

This is not the first time when the chief minister's face has appeared in "unusual" places. Apart from cropping up on the banners of Amma canteen, on the covers of Amma Water bottles, Amma Tea, Amma Salt, etc. there have been a few more appearances:

On Jayalalithaa's 68th birthday this year, AIADMK cadre organised a mass marriage ceremony in Coimbatore where 68 couples were married off. While Amma was not present there in person, she featured on the foreheads of these brides and grooms in form of a headband.

Again, it was a part of Jayalalithaa's 68th birthday ceremony. AIADMK party members celebrated the occasion by getting Amma's face tattooed on themselves. The tattoos are said to read 'Amma everything for us' in Tamil.

Schoolgirls happily show off their bags featuring Jayalalithaa's picture.
