Mantra

ॐ नमः शिवाय। ॐ गौरी हे गौरी पतिं मे देहि।

Om Namah Shivaya · Om Gauri he Gauri patim me dehi

Om Namah Shivaya. O Gauri, grant me a long-lived husband (or, for unmarried girls, a worthy spouse).

How to recite

Atla Tadde is the Ashwija Bahula Tadiya (Krishna Tritiya of Ashwija) — a women's fasting vrat specific to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the Telugu equivalent of Karva Chauth. Married women and unmarried girls keep a strict day-fast (often nirjala), apply gorintaaku (henna), worship Gauri at sunrise, sing Atla Tadde paatalu through the day, and break the fast only after the moonrise sighting by offering 11 atlu (rice-and-urad-dal pancakes) to Gauri.

Benefits

Held to grant a long-lived husband for married women and a worthy spouse for unmarried girls; the vrat is taken in continuity from Gauri's own austerity to win Shiva as her consort.

✦ Special Note

Ashwija Krishna Tritiya per Drik Panchang. 2026: Oct 28. 2027: Oct 18 (same civil day as Karva Chauth that year — the Tritiya tithi ends before moonrise on Oct 18).
