Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 12 Jul, 05:49–10:35
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 12:13 on Mon 11 Jul to 10:35 on Tue 12 Jul; harivasara ends at 17:48 Mon. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 12 Jul, 05:49.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
