Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 22:18.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 14:27–16:50. Pratipada: 22:18 Sat to 23:33.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 22:18 on Sat 29 Sep to 23:33 on Sun 30 Sep, so only Sunday’s aparahna (14:27–16:50) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
