Sikkim celebrated the 209th Bhanu Jayanti on 13th July in memory of famous Nepali litterateur Bhanu Bhakta Acharya, the man responsible for translating Ramayana from Sanskrit to Nepali.
Typically, it is observed on July 13 annually, which is also the 29th day of the Nepali month of Ashadh.
Considered ‘Adi Kavi’ or the first poet of the Nepali language, the birth anniversary is celebrated as a festival in Sikkim.
Every year, people of Nepal, Sikkim, Darjeeling, and other countries with a Nepali-speaking population, such as Myanmar, Bhutan, and others, commemorate Bhanu Jayanti.
Previously, Nepali was only available in oral form. Bhanubhakta Acharya is regarded as the first poet to write in Nepali and a champion of the language in the world. Therefore, it is regarded highly by the community and literary folk.
