Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 23 Oct, 07:19–13:06
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 13:18 on Thu 22 Oct to 13:06 on Fri 23 Oct; harivasara ends at 19:15 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 23 Oct, 07:19. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29.
