Full panchang for Wed 6 Oct in PāthardiSarva Pitru Amavasya Shraddha muhurat: what time?
Why is Sarva Pitru Amavasya on Wed 6 Oct in Pāthardi?
Sarva Pitru Amavasya is on Wed 6 Oct: Amavasya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 19:04.
Amavasya holds all of aparahna, 13:28–15:50. Amavasya: 19:04 Tue to 16:35.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Aparahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The shraddha for all ancestors is done in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Amavasya runs from 19:04 on Tue 5 Oct to 16:35 on Wed 6 Oct, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:28–15:50) falls within it. No text giving Sarva Pitru Amavasya’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
