Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 23 Oct, 06:35–17:06
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:18 on Thu 22 Oct to 17:06 on Fri 23 Oct; harivasara ends at 23:15 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 23 Oct, 06:35. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
