Valmiki Jayanti is observed on the full moon day of the month of Ashwin and this year the day falls on October 20. The festival is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Mahrishi Valmiki, the author of the epic Ramayana that consists of 24,000 verses and 7 Kandas.
Also known as Pragat Diwas, the devotees recite verses of the Ramayana at Valmiki temples across the country on this day. According to beliefs, Lord Rama met Valmiki during his fourteen years of exile and formed a close bond with him. Later, when Lord Rama abandoned Sita, Valmiki gave shelter to her in the forest and helped her with Luv and Kush.
