As Shrawan Shukla Purni is the day of Rishitarpani associated with sages, this day is celebrated as World Sanskrit Day. Since the sage himself saw the mantras of the Vedas through meditation, it is appropriate to celebrate Sanskrit Day on this day.
In ancient times, the beginning of the academic session was started from the day of Shrawan Shukla Purnima, so this day is celebrated as World Sanskrit Day.
On this occasion, programs will also be held in various gurukuls.
The main function committee has stated that the day is being prepared by adopting the method of health protection by maintaining physical distance as the risk of corona with new variant is still there.
