Bhagwan Vishnu is primarily worshipped on this day. Many devotees also offer prayers to Bhagwan Chandra and perform Satyanarayan Puja.
In many regions, Vat Purnima is observed on the same Purnima Tithi of the Jyeshtha month. But, the customs and rituals may vary based on regional traditions.
Devotees commonly wear yellow or red colored clothes. Yellow is the most auspicious color for this occasion because it is associated with Bhagwan Vishnu (who is also known as Pitambari, the one who wears yellow robes). While married women generally wear red saari.
It happens sometimes, so there is need to be worried. Pray to Bhagwan Vishnu with devotion and ask for his forgiveness, and complete the day with devotion.
