The day is celebrated to recognize and honour the greatness of Marathi literature. The Marathi language contains some of the oldest literature of all modern Indo-Aryan languages, dating from about 900 AD.
The government started celebrating the 'Marathi Rajbhasha Gaurav Din' after Kusumagraj's demise in 1999.
