Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Fri 21 Sep in Thazhecode?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Fri 21 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 23:12.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:31–15:57. Pratipada: 23:12 Thu to 20:51.
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 23:12 on Thu 20 Sep to 20:51 on Fri 21 Sep, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:31–15:57) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
