Goddess Lakshmi is the most revered deity during Diwali, as she represents wealth, prosperity, and good fortune.
- Goddess Lakshmi: Lakshmi Puja, held on the main night of Diwali, is dedicated to the goddess of wealth. Devotees pray to Lakshmi to seek her blessings for financial well-being, abundance, and prosperity. Homes and businesses are lit up to welcome her, as it is believed that she visits clean, well-lit homes to bestow her blessings.
- Goddess Kali: In certain regions of India, particularly West Bengal, Kali Puja is celebrated on the night of Diwali. Goddess Kali, the fierce form of the divine mother, is worshipped for her power to destroy evil and protect her devotees.
