Why is Pitru Paksha begins on Tue 9 Sep in Pāthardi?

Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:40–16:09. Pratipada: 07:08 to 03:40 Wed.
Pratipada ended at 03:40; aparahna is Dwitiya.
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 07:08 on Tue 9 Sep to 03:40 on Wed 10 Sep, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:40–16:09) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
