Fourth Avatar of Durga: Maa Kushmanda is worshipped on the Fourth Day of Navaratri. She shines bright with a laughing face in all eight directions as the Sun. She controls the entire Solar System. In her eight hands, she holds various kinds of weapons in six hands and a rosary and a lotus in the other two hands. She rides on a Tiger. She likes the offerings of ‘Kumhde’, hence her name ‘Kushmanda’ has become popular.
