Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 26 Jul, 06:12–11:28
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 09:04 on Sat 25 Jul to 11:28 on Sun 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 15:40 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 26 Jul, 06:12.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- 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).
