On Diwali, it is customary to worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha together. Lakshmi represents wealth, fortune, luxury, and material and spiritual prosperity, while Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the patron of arts and sciences, symbolizing intellect and wisdom.
Worshipping Lakshmi without Ganesha is believed to be incomplete, as wealth without wisdom can lead to misuse. This underscores the importance of intellect in managing prosperity. That is why Lakshmi and Ganesha are always worshipped together on this auspicious occasion.
