Full panchang for Sun 18 Sep in MapletonPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sun 18 Sep in Mapleton?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sun 18 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 20:00.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 17:00; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 20:00 Sat to 17:00.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 20:00 on Sat 17 Sep to 17:00 on Sun 18 Sep, so it touches only Sunday’s aparahna (14:33–17:01). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
