Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 12:42–15:08. Pratipada: 05:24 to 05:52 Wed.
Pratipada ended at 05:52; aparahna is Dwitiya.
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 05:24 on Tue 21 Sep to 05:52 on Wed 22 Sep, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (12:42–15:08) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
