Pana Sankranti Greetings – Odia New Year Wallpapers | Maha Bishubha Sankranti |
Pana Sankranti Greetings : The Odia New Year is observed as Pana Sankranti, widely known as Maha Vishuba Sankranti and Mesha Sankranti. This sacred occasion marks the start of the new year according to the traditional Hindu solar calendar, celebrated when the Sun transitions into Mesha Rashi (Aries).
Across Odisha, the festival is welcomed with devotion, cultural rituals, and a spirit of renewal. It aligns with other regional New Year celebrations in India such as Baisakhi, Bihu, Naba Barsha, Vishu, and Puthandu—all symbolizing new beginnings and seasonal change.
A distinctive tradition of this day is the preparation of pana, a cooling drink made with mishri and water, sometimes enriched with fruits and herbs. This is offered through a small earthen pot suspended above the sacred Tulsi plant, allowing it to drip slowly—representing life, rain, and continuity. Devotees also prepare chhatua (a nutritious roasted flour mixture) and offer it to Maa Brindabati before partaking as prasad.
Celebrate this auspicious day by sharing Odia New Year wallpapers and spreading the essence of tradition, positivity, and cultural pride across Odisha.
