We report optical spectroscopic observations of the Galactic nova AT 2019tpb/ASASSN-19aad (ATel #13241) on 2019 October 29.54 UT. The spectrum was obtained using the HFOSC instrument mounted on the 2m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) of the Indian Astronomical Observatory, Hanle, in the 380-900 nm wavelength range. The spectrum consists of a significant number of lines showing P-Cygni profiles. The lines present are hydrogen Balmer and Paschen, He (5876, 6678, 7065), O I (7773), N II (5679, 6482) and C II (7235) lines.
We thank the HCT observers for sparing time to carry out the ToO observations.
