Should you worship the old idol on Diwali or not?
According to religious belief, on the day of Diwali, a new idol made of clay of Maa Lakshmi and Lord Shri Ganesha should be brought and only they should be worshipped.

When can we worship old idols?
Idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Shri Ganesha made of gold, brass, silver or ashtadhatu can be worshipped again on Diwali.
