Biraja calendar 2027 August

The Odia calendar has twelve traditional months and six seasons.

Twelve Odia months

The Odia New Year begins around Maha Bishuba Sankranti, also known as Pana Sankranti, usually in April.

Six traditional seasons

The Odia calendar follows traditional solar and lunar calculations. Its month boundaries and religious dates should not be assumed to match Gregorian month boundaries.

A good understanding of Kohinoor Calendar requires understanding the traditional terms used in it.

These elements are useful because Hindu religious observances are not always determined by the Gregorian date alone.

Understanding Tithi

A Tithi is a lunar day determined by the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon.

There are 30 Tithis in a traditional lunar month:

• 15 in Shukla Paksha (ଶୁକ୍ଳ ପକ୍ଷ).

• 15 in Krishna Paksha (କୃଷ୍ଣ ପକ୍ଷ).

For example:

• Pratipada – ପ୍ରତିପଦା

• Dwitiya – ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟା

• Tritiya – ତୃତୀୟା

• Chaturthi – ଚତୁର୍ଥୀ

• Panchami – ପଞ୍ଚମୀ

• Shashthi – ଷଷ୍ଠୀ

• Saptami – ସପ୍ତମୀ

• Ashtami – ଅଷ୍ଟମୀ

• Navami – ନବମୀ

• Dashami – ଦଶମୀ

• Ekadashi – ଏକାଦଶୀ

• Dwadashi – ଦ୍ୱାଦଶୀ

• Trayodashi – ତ୍ରୟୋଦଶୀ

• Chaturdashi – ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶୀ

• Purnima or Amavasya – ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣିମା ବା ଅମାବାସ୍ୟା

  Many festivals and religious activities are observed according to a particular Tithi. A Tithi can begin or end at any time of the day, so the Gregorian date alone is not sufficient to determine every religious occasion.
