Full panchang for Sat 13 Sep in DiffaPitru Paksha begins Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Sat 13 Sep in Diffa?
Pitru Paksha begins is on Sat 13 Sep: Pratipada touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 17:44. Pratipada: 17:44 to 15:07 Sat.
Pratipada holds aparahna only until 15:07; then Dwitiya. Pratipada: 17:44 Fri to 15:07.
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 17:44 on Fri 12 Sep to 15:07 on Sat 13 Sep, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (13:18–15:45). No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
