Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 7 Apr, 04:17–04:22 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:22 on Fri 7 Apr, after arunodaya begins (04:17) and before sunrise (05:53). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
