Atla Taddi Significance: Why do We Celebrate Atla Taddi?

On Atla Taddi 2025 day, the married women fast all day and offer prayers to Goddess Gowri and the Moon for their husband’s long life and good health. This ritual is a way for married women to show their love and devotion towards their husbands. 

Meanwhile, unmarried girls or women also observe this fast and perform all the rituals to pray for a good life partner and an early and happy marriage. They also observe this fast to attract fortune, abundance and prosperity into their homes.

Astrological Significance of Atla Taddi

During the Ashwayuja month, the Moon and Mars are considered to be the most important and favourable astrological factors. Let us explain why: 

• Connection to Mara (Kuja): As per Telugu culture, the Atla taddi festival is also known as ‘Kuja Gowri Vratham’. Here, Kuja refers to the planet Mars in Vedic astrology. Offering dosas (atlu) gets one rid of Kuja Dosha (Mars’ negative influence) and blesses couples with a happy married life.
• Worship of the Moon: Not only Mars (Kuja), but the festival of Atla tadde is also associated with the planet Moon. As per the customs, women break their fast only after seeing the Moon. Worshipping the Moon on this day brings mental peace, emotional stability and prosperity into the home.
