Other Significant Rituals Observed On Atla Taddi
Married women and young girls get up early on the day of Atla Taddi, take an auspicious bath, and eat Suddi, a plain dish made of rice, curd, and a unique Gongura chutney before sunrise. They fast throughout the entire day, without even drinking water until the moonrise. While married women dress in traditional clothing, jewellery, and marital status symbols, unmarried women and girls prepare for the celebration by applying mehendi to their palms.
Throughout the day, women sing traditional folk songs, play on swings, and cook festive-friendly foods. Later, women do moon sighting in the water and worship Goddess Gauri with ten dosas. They share these dosas and a 'thoram' with the other married women. A 'kalisam' is made on rice grains with coins, flowers, mango leaves, turmeric, and kumkum. Special foods like Paltalikelu, sambar with eleven vegetables, and Gongura pachadi are cooked for the celebration.
