Sinivali (, ) is a Vedic goddess, mentioned in two hymns of the Rigveda, in RV 2.32 and RV 10.184. In 2.32.7-8 she is described as broadhipped, fair-armed, fair-fingered, presiding over fecundity and easy birth. She is invoked together with Ganga, Raaka, Saraswati, Indrani and Varunani. In 10.184.2, she is invoked together with Saraswati to place the fetus in the womb. In Atharvaveda 7.46, she is described as the consort of Vishnu. Hence, Sinivali is identified as goddess Lakshmi. Sinivali is also mentioned as a name of Lakshmi in her Sahasranama.
