Ganesha with Mouse

According to one interpretation, Ganesha's divine vehicle, the mouse or
mooshikam represents wisdom, talent and intelligence. It symbolizes
minute investigation of a cryptic subject. A mouse leads a clandestine
life below the ground. Thus it is also a symbol of ignorance that is
dominant in darkness and fears light and knowledge. As the vehicle ofLord Ganesha , a mouse teaches us to remain always on alert and
illuminate our inner-self with the light of knowledge.The figures are Indian iconographic images ofGanesha is also called Vinayak
