Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 26 May, 05:35–16:10
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:17 on Fri 25 May to 16:10 on Sat 26 May; harivasara ends at 22:15 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 26 May, 05:35. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
