Maharishi Valmiki is also called the Adi Kavi or the first poet in the Sanskrit language. He is also responsible for writing the first ever Sanskrit shlokas.
Valmiki Jayanti is celebrated on the full moon night or "Purnima" of the Ashwin month. This day is also commemorated as `Pragati Diwas`. On this auspicious day many worship the poet by reciting verses of the Ramayana at Valmiki temples across the country.
