Full panchang for Sat 28 Sep in BaodingPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 28 Sep in Baoding?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 28 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 13:35, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 13:35 to 10:17 Sun.
Pratipada ended at 10:17; aparahna is Dwitiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Aparahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The first shraddha of Pitru Paksha is done in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 13:35 on Sat 28 Sep to 10:17 on Sun 29 Sep, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (13:20–15:43). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
