Viral Video: When it comes to viral videos, sometimes the smallest things bring the biggest smiles. A tiny mouse has become the internet’s latest star after it was caught on camera stealing a vada straight from a pooja thali during rituals. The funny yet surprising clip has spread quickly across social media, leaving people amused and divided. The video, shared on X, opens with a beautifully arranged pooja setup. Flowers, offerings and a few vadas are neatly placed on a thali. Just when everything looks peaceful, a little mouse sneaks into the frame. Without any hesitation, it heads straight for the platter, grabs a vada nearly twice its size, and runs away in seconds, before anyone can stop it.
What made the video even more interesting for many viewers was the connection to Hindu mythology. In stories, the mouse is known as the vehicle (vahana) of Lord Ganesha and the timing of this clip during Ganesh Chaturthi added a symbolic twist that netizens couldn’t ignore.
