Full panchang for Sat 5 Sep in PāthardiPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 5 Sep in Pāthardi?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 5 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 21:32.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:42–16:11. Pratipada: 21:32 Fri to 22:42.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 21:32 on Fri 4 Sep to 22:42 on Sat 5 Sep, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:42–16:11) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
