Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 17 Jun, 05:50–11:09
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 08:54 on Thu 16 Jun to 11:09 on Fri 17 Jun; harivasara ends at 15:28 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 17 Jun, 05:50.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
