This festival is celebrated on Vaisakh Purnimasi (Purnima); this day lord Dharmraj (father of Yudhisthir) is worshipped.
Worshiping Dharmraj is essential ‘coz he knows the best about right and wrong things, he is full of wisdom and knowledge. People who worship him are supposed to get good character, like Yudhisthir in Mahabharata was famous even among his enemies for his truthfulness — he spoke truth ‘coz he was influenced by Dharmraj. Apart from truthfulness (transparency) he had profound knowledge and great wisdom — all these things to him was due to just Dharmraj.
This deity isn’t much popular but he can help you living a contented life by understanding all the minute details about karma, its cause and effect, and things about life and its questions; in fact he removes fear of ignorance. And his help one can obtain by worshiping him with the core of the heart.
For worshipping him, first make snana to his Murti (or laminated image); offer clothes, flowers, dhoop, deep and the eatables. Feed the poor and donate them money, clothes and other necessary things; leave 5, 11, 21 or more pots (मिटटी के घड़े) filled with water at various different places for thirsty animals, birds and spirits.
P.S.: Worshipping this combination “Dharmraj + Jupiter + Sarswati (Vagdevi) + Matangi, Neel Tara” supposed to make a person an universe of intelligence.
