The Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic traditionally attributed to the sage Valmiki and is believed to have been composed around the 5th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE. However, it narrates events that are set in the Treta Yuga, a mythological time period long before the historical figure of Lord Rama. While the exact dating of the Ramayana's composition is debated, it was written well after the events it describes, which are considered part of Hindu mythology rather than historical fact.

Which year Valmiki wrote the Ramayana?

There was a long period of oral tradition before the Ramayana was actually written, and the original strand of the story drew upon various pre-existing folk tales about Rama. Like many other classical poems written in ancient times, the exact date and time of the genesis of Ramayana is yet to be determined accurately. The reference to the Greeks, Parthians, and Sakas shows that the time of composition of Ramayana cannot be earlier than the second century BC. But the consensus is that Ramayana was written between the 4th and the 2nd centuries BC with augmentations up to about 300 CE. Linguistically and philosophically, a period just after the Vedic age, would most suit the content of the epic. The Great epic Ramayana itself points out certain celestial occurrences during the period of Rama, about which period it was cited to be created. Going by these facts, Ramayana seems to have been created about 3000 BCE or before.
