One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 00:31 on Sun 17 Sep to 22:13 on Sun 17 Sep, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:37–16:03) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
