Valmiki is known as the Adi-Kavi or the first poet of the Sanskrit language. According to folklore, Maharishi Valmiki is known to be the author of the Indian epic poem Ramayana. People believe that Lord Rama met Valmiki during his exile at the forest and interacted with him. It is believed that Valmiki gave shelter to Goddess Sita in his hermitage after their return to Ayodhya. Luv and Khush, the twin sons of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita are said to be born here.
