Tarpan and shraddha for the ancestors are performed in Aparahna, the fourth fifth of the daylight hours — 1:38 PM to 4:17 PM on this date, derived from its own sunrise of 5:38 AM and sunset of 6:57 PM rather than a fixed clock time. The tithi ends at 6 May, 4:29 PM, which is the instant the Moon and Sun share a longitude.
