Heramba Ganapati, with five elephant heads, symbolizes mastery over directions and elements, embodying wisdom, power, and protection.

Heramba Ganapati, a rare and powerful form of Ganesha, is depicted with five elephant heads, symbolizing his mastery over the five directions—north, south, east, west, and upward. Each head represents different aspects of Ganesha's divine nature: wisdom, power, prosperity, protection, and compassion. The five heads also signify the Pancha Tatvas (five elements)—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—showcasing his supreme control over the universe. In this form, Heramba is a fierce protector of the weak, with his lion vahana representing strength and courage, enhancing his role as a compassionate and powerful deity.
