Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 26 Mar, 05:17–06:51 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 06:51 on Fri 26 Mar, after arunodaya begins (05:17) and before sunrise (06:53). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
