Ganesha dances in in the same manner as that of his father. Ganesha also holds an ax, a goad, a water container, a jar of sweets, and one of his one tusks, broken off in a battle with a demon.

If you're wondering how a man can ride on a rat, you might want to give some thought to how an elephant's head can fit on a man's shoulders.
Animal art heightens our understanding of nature.
