Full panchang for Thu 10 Sep in DiffaPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Thu 10 Sep in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Thu 10 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 12:31, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 12:31 to 08:48 Fri.
Pratipada ended at 08:48; aparahna is Dwitiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+0:13). 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 12:31 on Thu 10 Sep to 08:48 on Fri 11 Sep, so it touches only Thursday’s aparahna (12:28–14:55). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
