Pana Sankranti is named after ‘Pana,’ the main fruit drink which is prepared in Odisha’s traditional culture. The festival enthusiasts enjoy the essence by having Pana with Chhatua, commonly called Bel Pana. It is a mixture of milk, spices, sugar, and fruit of Bel. Therefore, this sweet-sour drink is made from the pulp of the apple, Chhenaa (cottage cheese), and Nadia Kora (coconut gratings).
