Questions people ask

When does the Odia year begin?

At Pana Sankranti (Maha Vishuba Sankranti), when the Sun enters Aries in mid-April. Each Odia solar month begins on the day, counted sunrise to sunrise, in which the Sun changes sign.

Which lunar month system does the Odia calendar use?

Purnimanta: each lunar month ends at the full moon. So in the dark half the month is named one ahead of the South's; the tithi, the nakshatra and every festival date are the same.

Are the festival names the Odisha ones?

Yes. Ratha Jatra, Kumar Purnima, Dola Purnima, Gamha Purnima, Savitri Brata and Boita Bandana are named as Odisha names them, while the dates come from the same computation as the rest of the site.

Why are the times for Bhubaneswar?

Every time is counted from Bhubaneswar's sunrise and sunset. Puri or Sambalpur see the Sun a few minutes apart, which moves the day's windows by those minutes. The month above is worked out for your own place.
