{{Use dmy dates|date=October 2016}}{{Use Indian English|date=October 2016}}Herambasuta (Devanagari:हेरम्बसुत, IAST:{{IAST|Heraṃbasuta}}), was a Tantric exponent who belonged to the left-hand path Ganapatya cult. Tenth century work {{IAST|Śaṅkaravijaya}} attributed to certain {{IAST|Ānandagiri}} mentions the cult of {{IAST|Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati}} led by Herambasuta. The name of the group derives from {{IAST|Ucchiṣṭa}}, leftovers, possibly,in reference to the foods left over at the end of the ritual to the deity or, more likely in a Tantric context to the foods deliberately left in the mouth in order to render them ritually impure. According to the scripture mentioned above, Herambasuta held many unorthodox views, and the worship included {{IAST|Pancña Makāra}}.^[1]

The form of worship Herambasuta expounded was : there was no caste restriction, promiscuity was allowed and the followers wore a red mark on the forehead. According to R. G. Bhandarkar it was an imitation of Kaula form of worship.^[2]
