This pair of brass Mooshika statues from Nepal embodies the veneration of Mooshika, the mouse or rat who serves as the vehicle (vahana) of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Mooshika symbolizes the humility and ability to navigate even the smallest and most intricate problems, aligning with Ganesha's ability to provide guidance in overcoming challenges. These statues beautifully capture the devoted nature of Mooshika, each offering a sweet to his divine master as a symbol of dedication and prosperity.
The statues are adorned with intricate details, including small bells around Mooshika's necks, symbolizing their readiness to serve and their divine association with Ganesha. Their presence in any home or sacred space brings qualities of perseverance, humility, and loyalty, traits associated with Mooshika's servitude to Ganesha. The statues have been crafted with an antique bronze patina finish, adding a vintage aesthetic to their rich symbolic meaning.
These brass Mooshika statues are perfect additions to an altar, enhancing spiritual practices with their symbolism and connection to Ganesha's divine energy. They serve as reminders of humility, diligence, and the importance of offering devotion in the pursuit of wisdom and success.

The chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed Ganesh, or Ganesha, is one of Hinduisms most popular deities. He is the remover of obstacles, the deity whom worshippers first acknowledge when they visit a temple. He is also patron of letters and of learning; he is the legendary scribe who, using his broken tusk, which he often holds, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata epic. Ganesh is usually depicted colored red; he is pot bellied, has one tusk broken, and has four arms that may hold a pasam, a goad, and a pot of rice or sweetmeats. The sweet meats are held in a type of bowl known as a laddus. His appetite for these sweets is legendary and offerings of them are often left at his shrine.
Statues of Ganesh can be found in most Indian towns. His image is placed where new houses are to be built; he is honored at the start of a journey or business venture, and poets traditionally invoke him at the start of a book.
A pasam is a triple twine weapon. Each of the three twines represents, arrogance and conceit, Maya - the illusory nature of the real world, ignorance. In Hindu ideology weapons are a viewed as symbolic tools to destroy the ego rather than to cause any type of bloodshed. Goads (or elephant prods) are typically used to direct elephants. Goads are symbolic of how one should steer the soul away from the ignorance and illusions of this earthly world just as a mahout would steer an elephant away from any treacherous path.
