Kushamanda is the originator of the cosmic egg, the Brahmanda. Goddess Kushamanda is said to have produced the cosmic egg with her smile when the universe was non-existent, so ending the darkness and bringing light into life. She created Kali with a flick of her left eye. Saraswati was born from her left eye, and Lakshmi was born from her third eye. Shiva was born from Kushamanda's face, Brahma from his feet, and Vishnu from his arms. Thus, Kushamanda is the creator of the triad of Gods and Goddesses.

Worshiping Mata Kushmanda is thought to bring spiritual fulfillment and harmony into the life of all believers. Her name refers to her significance in the world, Kush (tiny), Usma (energy or heat), and Anda (cosmic egg), which indicates that her divine smile produced the entire universe in the form of a cosmic egg.
