Why is Goddess Saraswati worshipped on Diwali?

Alongside Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge and arts, is also worshipped on Diwali in some regions, particularly in western and southern India. According to tradition, devotees seek her blessings so that wisdom accompanies wealth and success. Her worship symbolises the belief that prosperity should lead to enlightenment rather than arrogance.
