One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). 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 01:22 on Wed 2 Sep to 02:57 on Thu 3 Sep, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (14:31–17:07) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
