Shraddh times on Sarva Pitru Amavasya (10 October)
Sarva Pitru Amavasya is the last day of Pitru Paksha: the shraddh of ancestors whose tithi of death is not known, or whose shraddh was missed on its own day, is done on it. By Dharmasindhu and Nirnayasindhu, shraddh is best done in Kutup Muhurat (the 8th of the day’s 15 muhurtas), Rohina Muhurat (the 9th) or Aparahna Kaal (the 4th of the day’s five parts). These follow sunrise and sunset, so they differ from city to city. For the rite itself, ask your family’s purohit.

16 cities, Indian Standard Time; checked against Drik Panchang. Pitru Paksha: every day’s shraddh and your city’s times
The moments the Amavasya tithi begins and ends are the same across India (in Indian Standard Time), so the times above hold for every city. The Amavasya day is fixed by sunrise, which changes with the city, so now and then a city may keep another day; check your city’s panchang or ask your purohit. Today’s panchang
Differences of 1–2 minutes between panchangs are normal. How we calculate
