Pitru Paksha begins is on Thu 6 Sep: Pratipada holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 18:44. Pratipada: 18:44 to 18:42 Thu.
Pratipada holds all of aparahna, 13:41–16:10. Pratipada: 18:44 Wed to 18:42.
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 18:44 on Wed 5 Sep to 18:42 on Thu 6 Sep, so only Thursday’s aparahna (13:41–16:10) falls within it. No text giving Pitru Paksha begins’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
