Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:22–15:50. Pratipada: 00:47 to 03:14 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 00:47 on Mon 4 Sep to 03:14 on Tue 5 Sep, so only Monday’s aparahna (13:22–15:50) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
