KOSAL PANJI 2011

  Panji or Panchangam means five attributes of Hindu calendar day that is Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana. It is the official astrological calendar of practicing Hindus. It forecasts celestial phenomena such as solar eclipses as well as more mundane occurrences. The study of Panchangam involves understanding Rasi phala, the impact of the signs of the zodiac on the individual. Astrologers consult the Panchangam to set dates for weddings, corporate mergers, and other worldly activities. Like Tamil panchangam, Telugu Panchangam, Kannada Panchangam, Gujarati Panchangam, Marathi Panchangam, Hindi Panchangam, Benglai Panchangam ,Oriya Panji ,Kosal Panji is meant for the people of Western Odisha or Kosal region  . Hence it may be called as Kosal Panji. In this case we accept Pandit Amarnath Mishra,s  Samaleswari Panjika as Kosali Panji ,Hence peoples of western Odisha are requested to use it.The word panchang is derived from the Sanskrit panchangam (pancha, five; anga, limb), which refers to the five limbs of the calendar: Vaara, Month and Tithi, Nakshatra, yoga, karana. The panchangam may also includes details about Rahu kalam, Yamagandam, Gulika Kalam, Durmuhurtham, Varjyam, Lagna Pravesh tables, daily planetory transists, and other information.
