Some people argue that this worship was created by Ādi Śankarāchārya jī which is not correct. Āchārya only propogated what is mentioned in our śāstra-s. Proof of Panchāyatana Pūjā which is worship of Five Devatā-s is mentioned in Purāṇā-s. Five Devatā-s are Gaṇeśa, Śiva, Śakti, Viṣṇu and Sūrya.

Introduction
Hari OM,
In Sanātana Dharma, the supreme Brahman manifests in many forms. Though Bhagavāna Krs̤ṇa never divided Hindus into Sampradāya-s (sects), it did happen over a period of time. During the time of Ādi Śankara, there were many ways of worship, some which did not align with the Veda-s and in some there were impurities. This led to rigidity and to some extent fanaticism, though it remained in on the intellectual level by raising objections to rival sampradāya-s, yet there were differences among Hindus. Believers or worshipper of Viṣṇu and his Avatāra-s would not worship Śiva or any other forms of Bhagavāna or Īśvara.
On the other hand, there were others who worshipped multiple forms of Bhagavāna and keep shifting from one form of Īśvara to another from time to time. This leads to instability of mind and the devotion does not mature as there is no one-pointedness. This was a completely opposite situation.
In order to remove the impurities in the customs and daily practices, to unite the masses, to keep harmony while maintaining one-pointed devotion and to give the true essence of Vaidika dharma, Ādi Śankara promoted the worship of five main forms of Supreme Brahman. They are Gaṇeśa, Śiva, Śakti, Viṣṇu and Sūrya. This type of worship is known as Panchāyatana Pūjā or Panchadevopāsanā (Pancha Deva Upāsanā).
