Odia Calendar 2027 ଓଡ଼ିଆ ପଞ୍ଜିକା
The Odia calendar is built on solar months, so its dates stay remarkably steady from year to year. Here is everything it means for 2027: the new year, when each month begins, and the date of every major festival.

Solar months: why the dates barely move
Each month of this calendar begins when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign (a Sankranti), so month start dates stay within a day or two of the same Gregorian date every year. In 2027 the Sun enters Mesha (Aries) in the afternoon of April 14 — late enough that some regions begin the new year on April 15. Lunar-tithi festivals such as Durga Puja and Diwali move about ten days earlier than in 2026.
Odia calendar 2027: what to know
In 2027, Pana Sankranti falls on a Wednesday (April 14). Compared with 2026, the Moon-based festivals shift: Rath Yatra 11 days earlier, Diwali / Kali Puja 10 days earlier, Kartika Purnima 10 days earlier. Fixed to the solar calendar or a civil date, these stay on (almost) the same day in both years: Makar Sankranti, Utkala Dibasa, Pana Sankranti, Raja Sankranti. The 9 dates listed below run from January to November 2027.
