Navratri 2023 Day 4: Goddess Kushmanda is worshipped on the fourth day of Navratri. Maa Shailputri was worshipped on the first day of Navratri, and Mata Brahmacharini on the second. The third day of Navratri was dedicated to Maa Chandraghanta, and devotees will now worship Mata Kushmanda. The universe is said to have been created by the smile of Mata Kushmanda, the fourth manifestation of Goddess Durga. Her name is a pun on the words Ku, which means small, ushma, which indicates warmth, and anda, which means cosmic egg. According to Hindu legend, Maa Kushmanda's smile alone was enough to create the entire cosmos, known as Brahmanda. Since she has eight hands, the divine goddess is sometimes referred to as the Ashtabhuja Devi.
