Full panchang for Wed 6 Sep in PendletonPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Wed 6 Sep in Pendleton?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Wed 6 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 00:02 Wed.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 14:10–16:46. Pratipada: 00:02 to 23:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 00:02 on Wed 6 Sep to 23:22 on Wed 6 Sep, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (14:10–16:46) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
