When performing ancestral rites and Tarpan during Pitru Paksha, timing is rooted in precise astronomical and lunar calculations. Vedic timekeeping relies on 'Udayatithi'—the tithi active at sunrise. However, for ancestral offerings (Pind Daan and Tarpan), specific midday windows known as Kutup Muhurta and Rohina Muhurta are traditionally prescribed. This is because the sun reaches its zenith during midday, symbolizing the peak of clarity and focused energy, making it the ideal psychological and chronological moment to express gratitude to one's forebears without administrative confusion.
