Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which follows a purely solar system, the Kohinoor Calendar is a lunisolar document. The 1992 edition was particularly significant as it guided the populace through a year of political and economic transition in India (post-liberalization), serving as a constant amidst rapid modernization. 3.1 The Lunisolar Structure The 1992 Kohinoor Calendar was based on the Saka Era (the Indian national calendar) alongside the Gregorian dates. It accounted for the adjustment of the lunar year to the solar year through the system of Adhik Masa (leap month) or Kshaya Masa (lost month).

Abstract The Kohinoor Calendar is one of the most renowned almanacs in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in Odisha. This paper examines the 1992 edition of the Kohinoor Calendar, exploring its role as a temporal guide for that specific year. It analyzes the intersection of the Gregorian and Hindu lunisolar calendars, the specific astrological configurations of 1992, and the calendar’s enduring function as a cultural touchstone for religious observance and agricultural planning. 1. Introduction In the landscape of Indian print culture, the Panchang (almanac) serves as more than a date-keeping tool; it is a spiritual and agricultural compass. Among the various almanacs published in Odisha, the Kohinoor Calendar —published by the Kohinoor Press in Cuttack—holds a prestigious position. The year 1992 marked another iteration of this long-running publication, providing a complex integration of the solar and lunar cycles. This paper outlines the structural elements of the 1992 calendar, its astrological specifics, and its socio-cultural utility. 2. Historical Context and Publication The Kohinoor Press established itself as a premier institution for astrological calculation and publication in Odisha during the mid-20th century. By 1992, the calendar was a household staple, trusted for its accuracy in Tithi (lunar day), Vara (solar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), and Rashi (zodiac sign) calculations.
