Why Atla Thaddi festival is celebrated?
Atla Thadde is the Telugu festival equivalent of Karva Chauth, a popular festival in North India which is celebrated on the following day.
This vratam is mainly performed by married women for their marital bliss and wellness of their husbands.
Unmarried women perform Gauri Puja and celebrate the festival with utmost fervor to be blessed with a good and caring husband and great married life.
Atla Thaddi Gauri Puja Procedure – How to perform Atla Thadde Gauri Puja:
A small idol of Gauri is made with Pasupu (turmeric) and installed in a sacred and sanctified place. The idol is called Gauramma. Gauramma is offered Abhisheka (bath) while reciting the mantras, the performers spill Pasupu (turmeric powder), Kumkuma (crimson powder) and shower flowers.
At the end of the puja, Goddess is offered Naivedyam (food offerings) and then Aarti is given to Goddess Gauri. After Gauri Puja or Atla Thaddi Nomu, the performers and all family members take theertham and prasadam.
