Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 20 Apr, 06:13–19:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:35 on Fri 19 Apr to 21:12 on Sat 20 Apr; harivasara ends at 01:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 20 Apr, 06:13. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:55.
