You must have seen that all the gods are worshipped with their better halves, like Shiv Ji is worshipped with Parvati, Ram Ji is worshipped with Sita Mata. But on Diwali, Ganesh Ji is worshipped with Lakshmi Ji. Whereas Lakshmi Ji is the wife of Vishnu Ji and Ganesh Ji's wives are Riddhi-Siddhi.
this story is found
According to the legend, once Lakshmi ji became arrogant that people worship her for wealth and prosperity. Then Lord Vishnu understood her feelings and broke her arrogance by saying that despite being the goddess of wealth and prosperity, you are incomplete. When Mata Lakshmi asked the reason for this, Vishnu ji said that a woman is considered incomplete until she gets the joy of motherhood. Lakshmi ji was very sad to hear these words of Vishnu ji.
Then once he expressed his pain to Goddess Parvati and asked her to give Ganesh Ji as her adopted son. Hearing this from Lakshmi Ji, Parvati Ji became a little worried. Then Lakshmi Ji gave this boon to Ganesh Ji that wherever Lakshmi Ji is worshipped, Ganesh Ji will also be worshipped along with her. It is believed that from then onwards the tradition of worshipping Ganesh Ji along with Lakshmi Ji on Diwali started.
This is also the reason
In Hinduism, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped as the goddess of wealth. On Diwali, we worship Lakshmi Ji with the wish of wealth. But it is said that when wealth arrives, a person's wisdom can deteriorate, that is, a person starts becoming proud of his wealth. In such a situation, it is customary to worship Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, along with the goddess of wealth, so that even when wealth arrives, a person's wisdom remains fine and good luck, happiness, wealth and fame remain in his life.
Or it can also be said that if a person gets wealth without pure wisdom, it can lead to destruction. In such a situation, along with wealth and prosperity, it is also necessary to have pure wisdom. This is the reason why Ganesha is also worshipped along with Lakshmi ji on Diwali.
