Ganesha Sitting On Rat 2.7″

The rat is Ganesha’s vehicle, or vahana, and symbolizes his ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. 

The mouse represents ego, and Ganesha’s use of the mouse represents the need to control ego. 

Ganesha is often shown seated in front of a tray of sweets, with the rat sitting in front of him, looking up. This symbolizes the wise person’s control over their senses. 

The sitting Ganesha pose, also known as Sukhasana or Lalitasana, represents peace, serenity, and a meditative state of mind.
