A different mixture of his elephant-like head, a pot belly and a small mouse makes him different from all other Hindu gods in appearance. Many a times, he is represented standing, sitting, dancing, like a warrior in heroic action against demons, playing with his family as a boy, sitting down, or in a significant range of contemporary situations when depicted in festival displays. Ganesha has four hands, holding an axe in the right upper arm, while the left upper arm holds a noose, signs of his ability to cut through obstacles or to create them as required. In the third one he carries laddoo (a sweet delicacy) and the fourth hand's palm is always there to bless people. His vahana is a tiny mouse which represents the dominated demon of pride and impertinence.
