Shri Vishnu killed the Kushmand demon.
It is mentioned in the scriptures that on the day of Akshay Nomi, the cruelty of the demon Kushmand was ended by Lord Vishnu, after which the Kushmand vine grew out of the demon’s hair. That is why it is also called Kushmand Naomi. Kushmand is commonly known as pitha or pumpkin from which the vegetable is prepared. On this day one should donate kushmand i.e. pitha. Along with the donation, one should also perform the pooja with the fragrance of cashew nuts, flowers and Akshat etc. It gives excellent results. Apart from Kushmand Noomi, Jagatdhatri Mata is also worshiped in Orissa today. Jagatdhatri is a form of Mother Durga. Today, from the day of Akshay Nomi, Mathura Pradakshina i.e. the circumambulation of Mathura also begins.
