One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 20:50 on Sun 27 Sep to 17:04 on Mon 28 Sep, so only Monday’s aparahna (14:28–16:50) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
