    Celebration

    Valmiki Jayanti: A day of reverence and celebration

    Valmiki Jayanti is an important day in many parts of India. Many state governments have announced a local holiday for schools to celebrate the day.

    According to reports, schools and colleges in Uttar Pradesh are closed, while states like Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh also announced public holiday.

    The celebrations usually involve processions and tableaux held in different parts to pay tribute to Maharishi Valmiki's contributions.

    Mythology

    The mythological significance of Maharishi Valmiki

    A popular myth surrounding Valmiki's name goes that while he was lost in meditation, termites built mounds around him.

    His name "Valmiki" comes from the Sanskrit word for termite mound.

    In the epic Ramayana, after Lord Ram abandoned Sita, she took refuge in Valmiki's ashram where he also taught her sons, Luv and Kush.
