Who is worshiped at the Diwali festival?

Diwali is a festival of lights. On this day lord Rama returned after 14 years of exile. A Diwali pooja is worship to the Deities of the Hindu Religion in the form of prayer, offerings and sacrifices. The day of Diwali is important since it signifies the worship and praise of devotees to the various deities; but most importantly, it is a day of praise to Goddess Lakshmi and by extension the divine mother of the entire universe and the earthly (physical) mother. Most devout Hindus perform the Diwali Pooja in a fixed, ritualistic pattern, by celebrating in praise and offerings to Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, The Nine Planets, Kalsa (representing the Universe) and Mother Lakshmi. In Marwari households like this one -- and in many North Indian households in general -- Diwali means the worship of Devi Lakshmi. For Bengalis, in contrast, the main emphasis during Diwali is on the worship of Ma Kali. Kali is the fierce form of Durga, or Shakti. Ma Durga is worshipped during "Durga Puja"
