The fourth day of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Maa Kushmanda, the fourth manifestation of Goddess Durga. The name "Kushmanda" is derived from three words: "Ku" (little), "Ushma" (warmth or energy), and "Anda" (cosmic egg). According to Hindu scriptures, Maa Kushmanda created the universe with her divine smile when there was darkness all around. She is revered as the creator of cosmic energy and the source of light and life.
