Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 13 Jul, 05:03–14:26
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 12:19 on Wed 12 Jul to 14:26 on Thu 13 Jul; harivasara ends at 18:51 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 13 Jul, 05:03. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:59.
