Answer

Yes, Samvatsari Pratikraman can be done at 1:30 PM if that is the scheduled time in your sangh or if circumstances require it.

Explanation

Traditionally, Samvatsari Pratikraman is performed on the day of Samvatsari, usually in the afternoon or evening, depending on the local sangh tradition.

The most important points are:

• It should be done with proper bhaav, humility, and repentance.
• It should include asking forgiveness through Micchami Dukkadam.
• It should be done according to the guidance of your guru, upashray, or sangh tradition.

If your sangh has arranged Samvatsari Pratikraman at 1:30 PM, it is acceptable to join at that time.

Spiritual Understanding

The essence of Samvatsari Pratikraman is not only the clock time, but sincere repentance for mistakes, purification of the soul, and forgiveness toward all living beings.

Yes, you may do Samvatsari Pratikraman at 1:30 PM, especially if it follows your local sangh or guru’s guidance.
