Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 19 Apr, 07:15–20:43 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:26 on Fri 18 Apr to 20:50 on Sat 19 Apr; harivasara ends at 01:02. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 19 Apr, 07:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:43: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:57.
