Full panchang for Sat 30 Sep in BaodingPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 30 Sep in Baoding?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 30 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 17:57. Pratipada: 17:57 to 14:52 Sat.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 14:52; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 17:57 Fri to 14:52.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 17:57 on Fri 29 Sep to 14:52 on Sat 30 Sep, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (13:18–15:41). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
