Odisha
Odia Calendar ଓଡ଼ିଆ ପଞ୍ଜିକା
The Odia Panji (almanac) tracks the solar year for its month structure while still calculating Tithi (lunar day) for religious observances — a hybrid approach distinct from the purely lunisolar systems of most of North and Central India.

Worth knowing
Pana Sankranti shares its date with Tamil Puthandu and several other regional solar new years — all pinned to the Sun's entry into Mesha (Aries), the same astronomical event, celebrated under different names across India.
This is one of several living regional calendar traditions across India, all ultimately related to the same Panchang principles. See the Hindu Calendar overview for how they connect, or The Sanskrit Calendar for the pan-Indian Panchang system this site covers in depth.
