The original Mast General Store is not only a great place to shop, but it’s also a fun trip back in time. It’s only 10 miles from the entrance to Sugar Mountain in the scenic Valle Crucis area. Find an amazing mix of modern goods and old-fashioned toys and candies you haven’t seen in years. It’s a browser’s paradise, with creaking wood floors and a fantastic place to find unique gifts.

Heramba Ganapati at Shilparamam, Hyderabad. The elephant-headed Ganesha, remover of obstacles and god of good fortune, is one of the most beloved of Hindu gods. Also known as Ganapati, he is invoked before the start of any action or endeavor.
In Tantric tradition there are as many as thirty-two manifestations of Ganesha, each with its own name and iconography. One of the most popular of these is Heramba Ganapati, who has five heads and ten arms. A beautiful wood piece, intricately carved, of this form is shown below.
