Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 15 Jun, 06:28–15:27
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 13:11 on Sat 14 Jun to 15:27 on Sun 15 Jun; harivasara ends at 19:45 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 15 Jun, 06:28. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29.
