Dadhichi Jayanti is dedicated to Sage Dadhichi an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and a descendent of Sage Angira. Sage Dadheechi is believed to have born on the Shukla Ashtami day (waxing phase of moon) in the Bhadrapad month (August – September). In 2012, the date of Dadhichi Jayanthi is September 23.
Legend has it that Devas (Demi Gods) who were losing a battle to the Asuras (Demons) was advised to fight with weapons made using the bones of Sage Dadhichi to win the battle. Devas requested Sage Dadhichi for his bones. The humble saint readily agreed and went into a deep meditation and his soul merged with Brahman. The Devas then made use of the bones of Sage Dadhichi to fight the Asuras and emerged victorious.
Dadhich Samaj observes the Maharishi Dadhichi and special pujas are held on the day.

Dadeechi Rushi is well versed in Nayarayana Mantra. That is why when Indra had to fight with Vrutrasura, he approached Gods who suggested him to ask Dadeechi's bones.
When the gods approached Dadeechi for his bones, he readily agreed and sacrified his life for helping the gods through his bones.
Out of the bones of Dadeechi Rushi only the Vajrayudha of Devendra is made up of.
