Valmiki Jayanti
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
A dacoit became a sage, a sinner became a saint. Valmiki's transformation reminds us that your past doesn't define your future. When grace descends, even a robber can write the greatest spiritual epic.
