Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 6 Sep in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 6 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 19:45.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:49. Pratipada: 19:45 Fri to 21:41.
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 19:45 on Fri 5 Sep to 21:41 on Sat 6 Sep, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:21–15:49) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
