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 10:52 on Wed 2 Sep to 12:27 on Thu 3 Sep, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:43–16:13) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
