Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:49. Pratipada: 08:02 to 07:22 Thu.
Pratipada ended at 07:22; aparahna is Dwitiya.
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 08:02 on Wed 6 Sep to 07:22 on Thu 7 Sep, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:21–15:49) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
