One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 20:36 on Wed 13 Sep to 21:01 on Thu 14 Sep, so only Thursday’s aparahna (13:18–15:44) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
