one who create the universe as “Little Cosmic Egg” with the energy of Her
divine smile is called “Kushmanda”.............. Secondly, as She liked the
sacrifice of pumpkin (Sanskrit, कूष्माण्ड, pumpkin, பரங்கிக்காய்) so She is known

“Ashtabhuja” as she is often depicted as having eight arms. In her seven hands she
holds kamandalu, bow, arrow, lotus, a jar of nectar, discus and mace. In Her
eighth hand She holds a rosary capable of giving Ashta Siddhis and Nava

Kushmanda Durga Temple in Varanasi was built in 1780 by Ahilya Bai holker and this temple is also locally called as "Monkey temple" because of the presence of large number of monkeys around the temple!....... According to legend, the present statue of Goddess Durga was not made by man but appeared on its own in the temple (swayambu). The temple has multi-tiered spires and is stained red with ochre, representing the red colour of Durga. Built by a Bengali Maharani, the architecture is of Nagara Style, which is typical of North India. Thousands of Hindu devotees visit the Durga temple during Navaratri and other auspicious occasions.......... The temple has a rectangular tank of water called the Durga Kund. The Kund was initially connected directly to the river thus the water was automatically replenished. This channel was later closed, locking off the water supply, which is now replenished only by rain or drainage from the Temple. Every year on the occasion of Naga Panchami, the act of depicting Lord Vishnu reclining on the coiled-up mystical snake or "Shesha" is recreated in the Kund.......Inside the temple, besides Swayambu Durga amman, Bairavar, Saraswathy, Lakshmi, and Vishnu are enshrined. Outside the temple premises one can have the darshan of Lord Sankata Vimochana Hanuman.
