Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 14 Jun, 04:49–12:11
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 09:47 on Sat 13 Jun to 12:11 on Sun 14 Jun; harivasara ends at 16:23 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 14 Jun, 04:49. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:44.
