Murti of Adi Vinayaka at Adi Vinayakar Temple, Koothanur, Tamil Nadu
Form of Ganesha
Adi Vinayaka (Sanskrit: आदि विनायक, IAST: Ādi Vināyaka, also known as Nara Mukha Vinayaka)[1] is a form of the Hindu deity Ganesha (Vinayaka), which portrays Ganesha with a human head, prior to his decapitation by his father, Shiva. This form of Ganesha is rarely worshipped, with only a few dedicated shrines, such as the one near Koothanur, Tamil Nadu.
