Full panchang for Sat 29 Sep in DiffaPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 29 Sep in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 29 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 11:42, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 11:42 to 08:56 Sun.
Pratipada ended at 08:56; aparahna is Dwitiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 11:42 on Sat 29 Sep to 08:56 on Sun 30 Sep, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (11:12–13:36). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
