Adhika masam or Adhik Masa is an additional month that appears in the Hindu Lunar calendar. A year with an Adhika masam will mean that it has 13 months instead of the usual 12 months. The Adhika masam appears only in calendars that consider it. Hence, the local / regional calendars that are followed in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Orissa, Bengal and Assam will not have them since they follow the Solar Calendar.
Any Solar calendar has 365 days. However, a Lunar calendar will have 354 days. These difference in the days, over years, make up for the additional month upon which there will be a sync between the two calendars. Generally, an adhika masa comes every years (32 months, 16 days and 8 ghadis to be precise). A ghadi is 24 minutes.

What we should offer as dhana in this Adhika Masa or Purushothama Masa?
[1] Offer 33 Books like Lalitha Sahasranamam or Vishnu Sahasranamam or Devi Stuti etc..Offer these books in the hands of children who are weak in studies for good education or anyone can offer.
[2] Offer 33 Hanathe deepa (earthen lamps) filled with ghee oil (Thuppa in kannada ; Nei in Tamil). Light any one lamp and offer remaining 32 lamps without lighting to any person.
If you offer lamps, your life will get brighter.
[3] Offer 33 Apupa (barley or rice cakes deep-fried and dipped in honey) a sweet dish.
This is my opinion (not guruji's) : If you don't know what is Apupa offer any sweet dish.
