An idol of the mouse(the vehicle or Vahan of Lord Ganesha) is placed in front of the Ganesh idol in the temple. It is believed that the devotees need to whisper his/her wish in the ear of the mouse but not disclose it to anybody and the wish would be fulfilled by the Lord Ganesha. Men used to whisper in the right ear and women in the left ear of the mouse.

This Ganpati is in the form of Vishnu which has Shankum or Conch in left hand and Chakra in the right hand with Goddess Laxmi sitting on the hand. These are 3 attributes of lord Vishnu.
