Note: Year number reuses Engine A's Shaka-Samvat fixed-April heuristic as a simplified stand-in — Odisha's own Utkaliya era (epoch 592 CE, rolling over on Bhadra Shukla Dvadashi in Aug/Sep, not April) and the temple 'Anka' regnal-year system are NOT implemented here; most popular Odia panjikas do show a Shaka year alongside the Utkaliya/Anka ones, which is why this was chosen as the placeholder, but it is not the calendar's own native era. Month name is a real solar (Sun-rashi) computation, confirmed to start at Baisakha=Mesha, the same alignment as Bengali.

The Odia panji is a solar calendar in which the year starts at Mesha (Aries) Sankranti. Rituals of the Jagannath temple at Puri, such as Rath Yatra, follow tithis given in the panji.
Because Odia festivals combine solar months and lunar tithis, both are shown in the daily view.
