Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 25 Apr, 06:18–19:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:24 on Thu 25 Apr to 23:58 on Thu 25 Apr; harivasara ends at 06:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:52.
