Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 18 May, 05:40–18:22
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:47 on Tue 17 May to 18:22 on Wed 18 May; harivasara ends at 22:26 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 18 May, 05:40. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
