Valmiki Jayanti commemorates Maharishi Valmiki's birth anniversary and holds deep spiritual significance for followers across India. Celebrations include Shobha Yatras—processions with Valmiki's idol accompanied by devotional songs and shlokas. Many devotees can also be heard reciting the Ramayana in his honor. KAvi sammellan is being organised where poets recite poems in praise of Adhikavi.
