Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 19 Jul, 04:45–17:13
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:06 on Wed 18 Jul to 17:13 on Thu 19 Jul; harivasara ends at 21:38 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 19 Jul, 04:45. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:41.
