Wow!! great post!!
The relevance of supreme power is a significant part of the show. The four characters perceive God in four different ways.
Khushi - Has tremendous faith in devi maiyya. she prays to her for strength and support but does not expect devi maiyya to do all her work for her.
Anjali - She is a devotee and believes in performing all the elaborate rituals. She only chooses to see goodness in this world. Her perception towards the ways of the world in unrealistic. She lives in her perfect bubble. i will quote Arnav here, "di duniyadari nahin samjhtee".
Shyam - Shyam is an over cofident fool. He believes he can get away with anything if he performs puja path. He things everyone including god can be bribed.
Arnav - Atheist on the exterior. Agnostic on the interior. Maybe he does not pray but does not disrespect the faith of others.

this is very much true..
i have noticed too she never says devi maiyya hamaare liyye yeh karna, she always says raksha karna devi maiyya and on the ocassion she had to leave delhi, she asked for an omen poiniting her to stay back, she did not ask for strength itself to stay back, she does respect her devi maiyya and asks her to give strength but always derieves it herself...and on yesterday's ocassion, from arnav.. also, the convesations she has with the goddess are like she is one of her family, and love how she says, maaf karna devi maiyya, glathi ho gayyi..
apart from bringing out the the way each of the 4 perceive god, the comparisions between them is what i loved..
will go and read the other mentioned posts nowπ

It was your comment that triggered this post although I wouldn't call you a devil!Now Absolutely correct..Religion has been integral to IPKKND...For Khushi ..devi Mayyia is her confidante..at times from than Payal...She shares everything including all she had to suffer at the hands of her LAAD governor..Devi Myyia was Privy to everthing..That's a good point you made about Devi Maiyya being her confidante. Yes, she is not only her god but also her best buddy.Anjali is however more a keeper than a believer..I think although she has her faith but with her it is almost ritualistic...In fact her confidante is her brother ARNAV>..ironical..isn't it...Yes, Anjali is more ritualistic but that does not make her less of a believer but to her God is on a higher plane. She cannot dream of making him (or her) her best buddy. She may be very close to her brother but does she really confide in him? I'm yet to see her have a real heart-to-heart with him. He is sensitive to her tears and reads her feelings even if she rarely voices them.and then there is Slimeball Shyam...where he will bend and twist and use GOD to his own purpose..even the pujas he has shared with Anjali have never been from the heart..He is a sham and that holier than thou act fools everyone but I wonder in the future will he be able to pull it off in front of ANjali..I suspect he will ask divine intervention to convince Anjali..He will prob keep GOD as a witness to prove himself innocent.hmmm we shall seeYes, Slimeball shyam will not hesitate to use and abuse God. Wouldnt be surprised if he really uses God as his witness to prove his 'innocence' but then he will get a fitting reply from the one above.and then Arnav...the first faceoff in the temple where he refused GOD's power to shape lives and FLung the GOD in Khushi's face..that same Arnav has not only come a long way but me thinks he has started being more accomodating..case in point ..his forbearance during the Aarti of the TEEJ episode and then the PUja for his parents..I suspect...for him GOD will become a bigger presence as Khushi comes in to his life..I was thinking of that challenge too. In fact it is that challenge which landed Khushi in Delhi. If he had not slurred her reputation, her parents would not have sent the two girls to their buaji's house. If she had not left Lucknow none of what we are witnessing now would have happened. So it appears to be Devi Maiyya's way to respond to that challenge by bringing together two people who are poles apart. He is becoming more accomodating and Khushi is sure to change his perspective about God.and can I say..because of religion.we have had all the religious festivals celebrated with big fervour and that itself has given many opportunites for the leading couple to come together..Yes, the show is full of festivals and poojas which besides catering to the trps is also shown to underline the role of divine power in the lives of the leads.
