Biraja Odia Calendar December 2026

The Biraja Calendar holds a prominent position in the culture of the state of Odisha. It is much more than an ordinary calendar; it is an important guide to spirituality for the people of Odisha. The information in this calendar comes from the Biraja Panjika, which has long been considered one of the most reliable sources of astrological and religious material.

For over three decades, Pandit Sri Chandra Sekhar Nanda has maintained this trust. The Biraja Calendar thus guides when to perform daily activities as well as festivals and religious rites according to the best times according to the stars.

Just like the Gregorian Calendar, the Biraja Odia Calendar has twelve months. The twelve months of the Biraja Odia Calendar are: (1) Baisakh, (2) Jaistha, (3) Ashadha, (4) Srabana, (5) Bhadrava, (6) Aswina, (7) Kartika, (8) Margasira, (9) Pausa, (10) Magha, (11) Phalguna, (12) Chaitra.
