Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 1 Jul, 04:10–05:08 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 05:08 on Sun 1 Jul, after arunodaya begins (04:10) and before sunrise (05:46). 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.

- 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).
