Mūshika, the humble mouse, serves as the vāhana of Lord Gaṇeśa. The mouse typically symbolizes desire and greed, which can gnaw away at one's inner peace. By riding upon the mouse, Gaṇeśa demonstrates his mastery over these base instincts, teaching that even the smallest and most desirous creature can be controlled through wisdom and discipline.
