Maharishi Valmiki wrote the Ramayan, and his grief for a wounded bird at the Tamasa became the first shloka; it was in his ashram that Sita Maa found shelter and Luv and Kush learned Shri Ram's story. On the Ashwin Purnima, homes set his picture with a diya and flowers, read from the Ramayan, and give to someone in need.
