Full panchang for Wed 2 Sep in TemascalPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Wed 2 Sep in Temascal?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Wed 2 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 12:52, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 12:52 to 09:51 Thu.
Pratipada ended at 09:51; aparahna is Dwitiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 12:52 on Wed 2 Sep to 09:51 on Thu 3 Sep, so it touches only Wednesday’s aparahna (12:39–15:09). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
