Full panchang for Fri 20 Sep in PāthardiPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Fri 20 Sep in Pāthardi?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Fri 20 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 16:42. Pratipada: 16:42 to 15:15 Fri.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 15:15; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 16:42 Thu to 15:15.
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 16:42 on Thu 19 Sep to 15:15 on Fri 20 Sep, so it touches only Friday’s aparahna (13:35–16:01). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
