Hindu worship a Deity known as "Ganesha" whose Vahana ("vehicle" or "mount") is a rat.

This lead to the misconception that Hindus pray or worship Rat God.

Everything in Hinduism is symbolic. Ganesha (also known as Lord Ganapati) and his vehicle are symbolic too. It is not to be taken as literally as rats seen around us in the world.

For more information about the rat as Ganesha's vehicle, read this section of the Wikipedia article on Ganesha: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha#Vahanas.

We found this amazing semi-abandoned (or not yet completely constructed) park in the middle of nowhere, near Phu Ruea, west of Loei, in rural northern Thailand.

We jumped over a fence to get in the park and take some photos.

This park's theme was Hinduism, but the style was very disneyish. I have no idea what this place is. If you know more about it, please email me or post a comment.

Check out my other photos of this park.
