Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 26 Oct, 07:23–18:04 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:08 on Thu 25 Oct to 18:54 on Fri 26 Oct; harivasara ends at 00:20. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 26 Oct, 07:23. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:04: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:31.
