Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 14:43–17:19. Pratipada: 23:22 Tue to 00:57 Thu.
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 23:22 on Tue 1 Sep to 00:57 on Thu 3 Sep, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (14:43–17:19) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
