Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 21 Oct, 07:17–18:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:31 on Sat 20 Oct to 20:01 on Sun 21 Oct; harivasara ends at 00:53. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 21 Oct, 07:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:11: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:28.
