About

Atla Taddi is a unique festival celebrated by women in Andhra Pradesh. It falls on the third day of the Krishna Paksha in Aswayuja.

Significance:

Married women observe this fast for the health and longevity of their husbands, while young girls pray for a virtuous life partner. It celebrates the arrival of the spring-like joy and the bonds of family.

Rituals & Puja Vidhi:

1. Suddi: Having a pre-dawn meal before the fast begins. 2. Fasting: Observing a day-long fast and breaking it only after viewing the moon. 3. Swings: Women enjoy traditional decorated swings (Uyyala) in the evening. 4. Atlu: Preparing miniature dosas (Atlu) and offering them to Goddess Gauri and then sharing with others.
