Full panchang for Wed 20 Sep in PāthardiPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Wed 20 Sep in Pāthardi?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Wed 20 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Purnima until 15:41, inside aparahna; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 15:41 to 12:10 Thu.
Pratipada ended at 12:10; aparahna is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 15:41 Wed to 12:10.
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 15:41 on Wed 20 Sep to 12:10 on Thu 21 Sep, so it touches only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:35–16:01). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
