Full panchang for Sat 17 Sep in MidletonPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 17 Sep in Midleton?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 17 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 20:05.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 17:04; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 20:05 Fri to 17:04.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 20:05 on Fri 16 Sep to 17:04 on Sat 17 Sep, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (14:41–17:11). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
