Hindu religious-goods stores are nothing like ours. OK, well maybe the Brazilians with the glow-in-the-dark saint glued to the dashboard are more like this, but Hindu have a more familiar relationship with their gods. The cell phone might be a reach, but the shoes are all wrong: Ganesh rides on a rat (pretty neat trick if you are an elephant).

Well, but Ganesh only has the head of an elephant, his own having been cut off by his father (Vishnu?)by accident, and his life then saved by replacing it with the head of an elephant. Ganesh is very popular because he is the little god of luck. You must remember to propitiate him with a spoonful of milk.
