The Odia Calendar (Odia Panji) is a sidereal solar calendar used in Odisha, with 12 months named after the zodiac signs the Sun transits. The new year is celebrated as Pana Sankranti / Maha Vishuva on April 14, when the Sun enters Mesha. The Anka era (regnal year of the king of Puri) is traditionally used.
ओड़िया कैलेंडर एक सौर पद्धति है — महीने सूर्य के राशि-संक्रमण से निर्धारित होते हैं। नववर्ष पाणा संक्रांति 14 अप्रैल को मनाया जाता है।
The Odia Calendar follows the Saura (solar) tradition and is closely tied to the worship of Lord Jagannath at Puri. Unlike the lunisolar Hindu calendar, Odia months track the Sun's sidereal transit through the 12 rashis. The festival calendar of Odisha revolves around Jagannath's annual cycle — most famously the Rath Yatra (chariot festival) at Puri, attended by millions. The Odia year traditionally begins with Pana Sankranti (Maha Vishuva, April 14), though Anka system also marks the king's regnal year.

How is the Anka year calculated?
Anka was the regnal year of the Gajapati King of Puri. The new Anka begins on Bhadraba Shukla Dwadashi (Sunia day). Year numbers follow specific rules — they skip years ending in 0 and 6 (considered inauspicious), so the count differs from regular years. Less common in modern usage.
