Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 Jul, 06:43–15:39
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:51 on Wed 16 Jul to 15:39 on Thu 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 22:33 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 17 Jul, 06:43. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:40.
