Vinâyakî is a feminine form of Lord Ganesh; she has an elephant head and the body of a female.

She is commonly believed to represent the Shakti of Ganesh/Vinâyaka. The Matsya Purana mentions Vinayaki as one of the two hundred celestial mothers created by Lord Shiva. Linga Purana mentions Vinayaki as a demonness deity with an elephant head created, which was found amidst the restored sculptures of the Causath-Yogini temple in Jabalpur.
