There are dozens of temples throughout the world and more specifically in India dedicated to the worship and honour of Lord Ganesh. He is also the central figure in countless Hindu homes, both for worship & decor, in Britain, Europe, USA and no doubt dozens of countries all over the world. 

Ganesh's influence is comparable to the Buddha. There's abundant information online about Ganesh, his influence, worship & relevance in the Hindu pantheon. Interested parties may wish to google and find out more.

Ganesh is often depicted with a mouse or rat ( or two), which signifies a multitude of things: since the rat is a destructive pest and a menace, capable of destroying crops, its depiction near Ganesh's feet signify Ganesh's ability to overcome all obstacles, and like a rat, able to penetrate even the most secret & difficult places.

Ganesh/Ganesha, also known as Ganapati, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.His image is found throughout India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Hindu sects worship him regardless of affiliations and Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists. Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions, and usually displayed at the entrance of a home, office or establishment, to invoke prosperity and well being.
