Pratipada ended at 01:20; aparahna is Dwitiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). 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 05:14 on Sun 9 Sep to 01:20 on Mon 10 Sep, so only Sunday’s aparahna (12:29–14:56) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
