Lord Ganesha is revered as the deity of good beginnings and the remover of obstacles. 

Lakshmi pooja is an important ritual as part of Diwali celebrations and it is believed that the goddess visits the homes of devotees to bless them with wealth and prosperity for the forthcoming year. The reference to wealth is not merely material wealth but also spiritual wellbeing. It is common practice to clean up the entire household and deck it up with lights'n' lamps to welcome Lakshmi Devi home and seek her blessings.  

It is common practice for Lord Ganesha to be worshipped along with Goddess Lakshmi  as part of the Diwali celebrations to seek both wealth(Lakshmi) and the intellect(Ganesha) to be able to wisely manage wealth acquired.
