The Odia New Year is celebrated as Pana Sankranti, also known as Maha Vishuba Sankranti or Mesha Sankranti. This auspicious occasion marks the beginning of the new year in the traditional Hindu Solar Calendar, observed when the Sun enters the sidereal Aries, or Mesha Rashi.
This vibrant festival is celebrated across Odisha with great devotion and joy, and it shares similarities with other regional New Year celebrations across India, such as Baisakhi, Bihu, Naba Barsha, Vishu, and Puthandu.

One of the unique rituals of this day involves preparing pana, a refreshing sweet drink made with mishri (sugar) and water. A small pot filled with this drink is hung over the sacred Tulsi plant, allowing drops to fall slowly through a tiny hole—symbolizing the onset of rain and prosperity. Devotees also prepare and consume chhatua (roasted gram flour), after offering it to Maa Brindabati as part of the traditional rituals.
