Daikokuten is Mahakala, an incarnation of the Hindu god Shiva, and was a god who was in charge of battle, but gradually came to be known for its power to bring treasures, and wealthy merchants from all over the world made him a guardian deity.
It is the god of good fortune and financial luck that brings wealth, career advancement, and prosperity.
Also, Daikokuten is associated with Okuninushi no Mikoto, and is counted as one of the Seven Lucky Gods as a god of good harvest, and is widely worshiped by the folk. Along with Ebisu, it is often enshrined as one of the two gods of good fortune, which are said to bring prosperity in business and good fortune.

Daikokuten is counted as one of the Seven Lucky Gods as a god of good fortune and financial luck that brings wealth, career advancement, and prosperity, and is widely worshiped by folk.
The history of the belief in the Seven Lucky Gods dates back to the Kamakura period, when the belief in Ebisu (the guardian deity of fishing, labor, business, etc.), an ancient Japanese guardian deity, was joined by the belief in Daikokuten (the god of abundance, food and drink) and Benzaiten (the god of music, wisdom, oratory, and wealth), which came from India via China.
In the Muromachi period, as the faith in these three gods deepened among the common people, the four gods were added: Bishamonten (the guardian of the path of humanity and Buddhism), Hotei (the god of fortune-telling of good and bad fortune, good fortune such as family harmony), Fukurokuju (the god of good luck, stability in life, and longevity), and Jurōji (the god of longevity and prolongation), and it is said that they became symbols of faith as the Seven Lucky Gods that responded to people's wishes.
During the Edo period, pilgrimages to the Seven Lucky Gods became popular in various places in order to seek fortune and luck such as prosperous business, good health, and the fulfillment of various great wishes.
