Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 30 May, 05:50–16:35
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:28 on Wed 29 May to 16:35 on Thu 30 May; harivasara ends at 22:30 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 30 May, 05:50. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
