Hinduism - What Is Valmiki Jayanti?

 

Valmiki Jayanti is a Hindu festival commemorating the birth of Valmiki.

On the full moon in the lunar month of Ashvin (September–October), a festival is held.

This day is said to be the birthday of the poet Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana, the first of the two Sanskrit epics, according to legend.
