Full panchang for Sat 1 Oct in DiffaPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 1 Oct in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 1 Oct: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 18:31.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 14:56; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 18:31 Fri to 14:56.
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 18:31 on Fri 30 Sep to 14:56 on Sat 1 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (13:11–15:35). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
