Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 18 Jul, 05:51–16:14
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:33 on Wed 17 Jul to 16:14 on Thu 18 Jul; harivasara ends at 22:28 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 18 Jul, 05:51. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:25.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
