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 17:58 on Fri 3 Sep to 18:12 on Sat 4 Sep, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:38–16:06) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
