Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 00:02 Sat.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:33–16:08. Pratipada: 00:02 to 01:12 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 00:02 on Sat 5 Sep to 01:12 on Sun 6 Sep, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:33–16:08) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
