Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 18 Jun, 05:29–13:04
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:16 on Tue 17 Jun to 13:04 on Wed 18 Jun; harivasara ends at 19:58 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 18 Jun, 05:29. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
