Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 26 May, 09:03–21:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:31 on Wed 26 May to 04:37 on Thu 27 May; harivasara ends at 09:03. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:32.
