Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 16 Dec, 08:16–17:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:32 on Sun 15 Dec to 18:52 on Mon 16 Dec; harivasara ends at 23:07 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 16 Dec, 08:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:08.
