Kushmanda Keychain · Navratri Night 4

Energy, creativity and joy.

Kushmanda is the fourth of the nine forms of Durga. The story goes that when there was only darkness, she smiled, and the universe appeared. She is said to live at the heart of the Sun.

She is the creative spark: the warmth that makes something out of nothing. Carry her when you are starting a project, making something, or just need your energy back.

What the details mean

• Sun glow: light, warmth and health. She gives the Sun its shine.
• Her smile: the whole point of her story. Good things start from joy.
• Eight arms: she is also called Ashtabhuja, the eight-armed devi. Capable of anything.
• Two sacred pots: life and nourishment, held out to share.
• Bow, chakra, gada, lotus and prayer beads: strength and focus, with a gentle side.
• Lion and ash gourd: the lion is courage. The ash gourd (kushmanda) is her traditional offering and gives her her name.
• Royal blue sari: the colour of night four.

These are the common readings. Families and regions tell them in different ways, and that's part of the joy of it.
