Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Wed 29 Sep in Chahārbāgh?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Wed 29 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna on neither day, and the earlier day is taken.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 16:30. Pratipada: 16:30 to 12:36 Thu.
Pratipada ended at 12:36; aparahna is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 16:30 Wed to 12:36.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:25). 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 16:30 on Wed 29 Sep to 12:36 on Thu 30 Sep, between the two days’ aparahna, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 29 Sep. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
