Day Four of the NAVRATRI PUJA 2022: DEVI KUSHMANDA
Mata Kushmanda is honoured on the fourth day of the Navratri, also known as Chaturthi Tithi. Ku means “a bit,” Ushma means “warmth” or “energy,” and Anda means “cosmic egg.” Legend has it that the goddess Kushmanda smiled the universe into existence.
On the 4th day of Navaratri, devotees pay homage to Kushmanda, a form of Durga. People believe that when this incarnation of Durga smiled, she drove off the darkness forever. As a result, every statue depicting the goddess in this guise beams with goodwill.
Maa Kushmanda, the wife of Lord Shiva, is said to boost the well-being of her worshippers. She also blesses her devotees with great fortune and power.

Some people think this particular form of Durga can live inside the sun. As a result, her brilliance and shine allow her to maintain and store power. Goddess Ashta Bhuja is shown riding atop a tiger and holding Ashta Bhuja, or eight hands.
When Devi Kushmanda is blessing her followers, she keeps one hand on Abhayamudra.
Chaitra (spring), Shardiya Navratri (fall), Ashada, and Magha Gupt Navratri are the four times a year when Navratri is celebrated. Yet only the initial two of these are generally praised.
Furthermore, several myths state that she has a particular affinity for the white pumpkin, or Kushmand, found in Bali. The goddess is also commonly referred to as Maa Kushmanda, or just Maa, because she is believed to have created the universe (Brahmanda) and enjoys Kushmand.
