The beautiful brass figure of Lord Ganesha sitting on two rats is being nicely carved out with some spectacular carvings on it. Rat is the vehicle of the Lord and the rat is always shown seated around the Lord.
The Mudgala Purana, an ancient text on Lord Ganesha, cites eight forms of Ganesha, prevailing over eight human weaknesses or demons. As the Lambodara (corpulent belly), Ganesha symbolizes victory over anger.
