Shri Arun,

There can be no "nitya mAsikam"; nitya means daily, mAsika means monthly. But very orthodox and well to do (smarta) brahmins have performed (very rare cases in the past) "nitya sraaddham" for one year from the day next to the Subhasweekaaram. This is different from the nitya sraaddham included in the daily rituals of brahmanas. The idea behind this is that the departed entity experiences the same daily changes till the "sapindeekaranam" is formally done at the end of one year.

Thus it seems the duration of day and night for the pinda saareera is differently interpreted in different smritis/puranas.

Shri Sangom,
I agree with you.
As I said the details are as per Brihat Garuda Purana.
