Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 30 Mar, 06:25–07:10
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:46 on Sun 29 Mar to 07:10 on Mon 30 Mar; harivasara ends at 13:37 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 30 Mar, 06:25.
The rule

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