This festival is celebrated on Bhadon Sudi Dwadashi, this day lord Vamana (Vishnu Avatar) is worshiped by Panchopchar or Shodashopachara Puja. And in bhoga, ५२ पेड़े चढ़ाये जाते हैं। इसके बाद चीनी (या गुड़ , शक्कर), चावल तथा दही दान में दिया जाता है। इसी दिन व्रत रखकर शाम को उसका उद्यापन भी कर सकते हैं।
उद्यापन में गरीब या साधु संतो को खाना खिलाना चाहिए तथा उनकी जरुरत का सामान भी देना चाहिए जैसे कमण्डल, माला, चिमटा, आसान, धोती, धार्मिक ग्रन्थ इत्यादि।
As Sheshnag and Lakshmi also live with lord Vishnu, they shouldn’t be left behind. After Vishnu worship, Lakshmi and Sheshnag should be worshiped. Lakshmi is good for prosperity (attracting money) and Sheshnag is for protection.
Vishnu is a Satvik (सात्विक) God, he doesn’t like non-veg food — so his devotees should avoid these kinds of food, at least this day. For Vishnu happiness, one can also opt for serving stray cows (by feeding them and taking care of their health).
