Full panchang for Sat 21 Sep in PāthardiPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 21 Sep in Pāthardi?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 21 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 18:30. Pratipada: 18:30 to 14:38 Sat.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 14:38; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 18:30 Fri to 14:38.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 18:30 on Fri 20 Sep to 14:38 on Sat 21 Sep, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (13:35–16:01). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
