On the fourth day of Navratri, Goddess Kushmanda is being ritually worshiped in Dasainghar or Pooja room. There is a classical method of ritually worshiping Kushmanda every year on Ashwin Shukla Chaturthi i.e. the fourth day of Durga Paksha.
These three heats, spiritual, metaphysical and supernatural, are called Kushma. Kushmanda, the fourth goddess of Navadurga, gives away all three heats of the devotees who come to shelter, so this name is given. It is mentioned in various Puranas that Kushmanda holds a goblet filled with sura and a vessel with blood.
On the first day of Navratri, on Thursday 17th of Asoj, in the Dasainghar or Pooja room, a barley jamra was kept after the Vedic rituals. On the same day, Shailputri, the first goddess among the nine Durgas, was duly worshiped at the place where the desecration was done.
On the second day, Friday, the second Brahmacharini Devi was worshiped at the place of worship, and on the third day, on Saturday, Chandraghanta Devi was worshiped with devotion.
