Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:51–16:20. Pratipada: 12:32 to 11:52 Thu.
Pratipada ended at 11:52; aparahna is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 12:32 Wed to 11:52.
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 12:32 on Wed 6 Sep to 11:52 on Thu 7 Sep, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:51–16:20) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
