Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:11–15:35. Pratipada: 19:57 Tue to 18:21.
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 19:57 on Tue 30 Sep to 18:21 on Wed 1 Oct, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:11–15:35) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
