Full panchang for Tue 16 Sep in BaodingPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Tue 16 Sep in Baoding?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Tue 16 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 17:13. Pratipada: 17:13 to 15:43 Tue.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 15:43; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 17:13 Mon to 15:43.
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 17:13 on Mon 15 Sep to 15:43 on Tue 16 Sep, so it touches only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:26–15:55). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
