Valmiki Jayanti is the celebration of the birth anniversary of the ancient Indian sage and poet, Maharishi Valmiki. Valmiki is best known for composing the epic Sanskrit poem, the Ramayana, one of the most revered texts in Hindu literature. Valmiki Jayanti is observed on the full moon day (Purnima) during the month of Ashwin (usually in September or October) according to the Hindu lunar calendar.
In 2023, Valmiki Jayanti will be celebrated on October 28th. On this day, devotees and admirers of Valmiki organize various events and activities to honor his contributions to literature and his role in preserving the story of Lord Rama. This can include recitations of his works, discussions on the Ramayana, and cultural programs that showcase the life and teachings of Valmiki.
The Ramayana, attributed to Valmiki, narrates the life and adventures of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his loyal devotee Hanuman, among other characters. Valmiki's work has had a profound influence on Indian culture and spirituality and continues to be an essential part of the Hindu literary and religious tradition. Valmiki Jayanti is an occasion to pay homage to this great sage and the timeless epic he composed.
