Full panchang for Fri 7 Sep in BaodingPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Fri 7 Sep in Baoding?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Fri 7 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 18:58. Pratipada: 18:58 to 15:14 Fri.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 15:14; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 18:58 Thu to 15:14.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 18:58 on Thu 6 Sep to 15:14 on Fri 7 Sep, so it touches only Friday’s aparahna (13:32–16:06). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
