World Sanskrit Day, also known as Vishva-Samskrita-Dinam, is observed annually to honour the legacy of Sanskrit, one of the world’s oldest and most influential languages. In 2025, it will be celebrated on August 9, which coincides with Shravan Purnima as well as traditional festivals like Raksha Bandhan and Upakarma in various parts of India. The day is dedicated to promoting Sanskrit learning, preserving its cultural richness, and inspiring younger generations to appreciate its historical and contemporary significance. Events such as shloka recitations, workshops, and competitions are organised to make the celebration engaging and educational.
