Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 18 Jul, 08:32–20:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:01 on Sat 18 Jul to 04:02 on Sun 19 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:32. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:41.
