Praise the lord!

This is Lord "Ganesh" - Hindu god of good luck. It is customary to begin all auspicious tasks after praying to Lord Ganesh. The small black 'thing' you see is actually a mouse. The mouse is the vehicle of Lord Ganesh. Now how such a big God moves around on a mouse - I dont know...neither do I question that.

There's a story about how Lord Ganesh got his elephant head. Read the "Common attributes" this page.
