Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 30 Apr, 06:48–19:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:12 on Thu 30 Apr to 02:39 on Fri 1 May; harivasara ends at 06:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:47.
