Full panchang for Wed 17 Sep in MidletonPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Wed 17 Sep in Midleton?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Wed 17 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 19:50. Pratipada: 19:50 to 16:05 Wed.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 16:05; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 19:50 Tue to 16:05.
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 19:50 on Tue 16 Sep to 16:05 on Wed 17 Sep, so it touches only Wednesday’s aparahna (14:41–17:12). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
