Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 29 May, 04:14–05:12 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 05:12 on Mon 29 May, after arunodaya begins (04:14) and before sunrise (05:50). 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.
