What is Kohinoor Odia Calendar (Jagannath Panji)?
The Kohinoor Odia Calendar, also called Jagannath Panji, is a traditional Hindu almanac widely followed in Odisha. It is used to determine tithi (lunar days), nakshatra (constellation), yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset timings, and festivals.
Temples, households, and astrologers rely on this calendar for:
- Determining festival dates like Rath Yatra, Pana Sankranti, and Raja Parba
- Scheduling religious rituals
- Selecting auspicious dates and times (muhurat) for weddings, housewarmings, and other ceremonies
The calendar’s accuracy comes from a blend of lunar and solar astronomical calculations, making it a reliable guide for spiritual and cultural practices.

Odia Calendar FAQs – Festivals & Dates
How is the Odia calendar different from the Gregorian calendar?
The Odia calendar follows lunar months with adjustments for solar movement, while the Gregorian calendar is purely solar. A single lunar month in the Odia calendar may overlap two Gregorian months. This is why festivals like Raja Parba, Pana Sankranti, and Rath Yatra do not fall on fixed Gregorian dates each year.
What is Pana Sankranti and why is it important?
Pana Sankranti is the Odia New Year, celebrated on April 13 or 14. It is culturally significant as it marks the start of the solar new year. People observe rituals, visit temples, prepare traditional drinks called pana, and pray for prosperity, health, and happiness. Farmers also see it as a symbol of harvest and renewal.
Are auspicious timings (muhurat) included in the April 2026 calendar?
When is Ekadashi in April 2026 and why is it observed?
How accurate is the Kohinoor Odia Calendar for rituals?
The Kohinoor calendar is prepared using precise astronomical calculations combining lunar and solar positions. It is considered highly reliable for religious observances, festival planning, and daily rituals. For critical ceremonies, local temple priests or astrologers may be consulted for exact timings.
