Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Mon 8 Sep in Pāthardi?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Mon 8 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 23:38.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:40–16:09. Pratipada: 23:38 Sun to 21:12.
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 23:38 on Sun 7 Sep to 21:12 on Mon 8 Sep, so only Monday’s aparahna (13:40–16:09) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
