Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 30 May, 05:32–19:13
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:37 on Fri 29 May to 19:13 on Sat 30 May; harivasara ends at 00:01. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 30 May, 05:32. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
