Full panchang for Thu 18 Sep in BaodingPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Thu 18 Sep in Baoding?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Thu 18 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 13:33, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 13:33 to 13:06 Fri.
Pratipada ended at 13:06; aparahna is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 13:33 Thu to 13:06.
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 13:33 on Thu 18 Sep to 13:06 on Fri 19 Sep, so it touches only Thursday’s aparahna (13:26–15:54). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
