Full panchang for Sun 12 Sep in DiffaPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sun 12 Sep in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sun 12 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 18:04.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 15:04; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 18:04 Sat to 15:04.
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 18:04 on Sat 11 Sep to 15:04 on Sun 12 Sep, so it touches only Sunday’s aparahna (13:19–15:45). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
