Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Mon 3 Sep in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Mon 3 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 22:43.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:22–15:51. Pratipada: 22:43 Sun to 01:00 Tue.
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 22:43 on Sun 2 Sep to 01:00 on Tue 4 Sep, so only Monday’s aparahna (13:22–15:51) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
