Full panchang for Wed 26 Sep in OleanPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Wed 26 Sep in Olean?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Wed 26 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 15:45, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 15:45 to 12:16 Thu.
Pratipada ended at 12:16; aparahna is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 15:45 Wed to 12:16.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). 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 15:45 on Wed 26 Sep to 12:16 on Thu 27 Sep, so it touches only Wednesday’s aparahna (14:16–16:40). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
