Maa Kushmanda, the fourth Avatar of Goddess Durga, is worhipped on the 4th day of Navratri. Her name signals her main role: Ku means “a little”, Ushma means “warmth” or “energy” and Anda means “cosmic egg” and she is considered the creator of the universe.
As per the Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu was able to start creating the universe when Maa Kushmanda smiled like a flower which blossomed with a bud. She created the world from nothing, at the time when there was eternal darkness all around. This Swarup of Maa Durga is the source of all.
Goddess Kushmanda is shown as a beautiful woman who possess a divine smile on her face and rides the tiger. Her colour is as golden as the sunshine. She has eight hands in which she is holding a sword, trident (trishul), mace, bow and arrow, discus, rosary, lotus and amrit (holy water).

SHE has eight arms and bears the kamandalu, lotus, bow, arrow, jar of nectar, discus, mace, and a string of beads capable of granting 8 forms of ability. SHE rides a lion, which represents relentless pursuit of dharma.

Goddess Kushmandha Mantra
Goddess Śakti is very happy in this incarnation and it is believed that the eternal darkness ended when she smiled. And this led to the beginning of creation.
सुरासम्पूर्णकलशं रुधिराप्लुतमेव च ।
दधाना हस्तपद्माभ्यां कूष्माण्डा शुभदास्तु मे ॥
surāsampūrṇakalaśaṃ rudhirāplutameva ca
dadhānā hastapadmābhyāṃ kūṣmāṇḍā śubhadāstu me
Let the Goddess Khooshmanda, who has two pots, Full of blood and holds lotus flower in her hand, be kind to me.
