Full panchang for Fri 16 Sep in OleanPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Fri 16 Sep in Olean?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Fri 16 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 15:05, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 15:05 to 12:04 Sat.
Pratipada ended at 12:04; aparahna is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 15:05 Fri to 12:04.
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 15:05 on Fri 16 Sep to 12:04 on Sat 17 Sep, so it touches only Friday’s aparahna (14:22–16:51). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
