Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 27 Sep, 05:16–06:27 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 06:27 on Thu 27 Sep, after arunodaya begins (05:16) and before sunrise (06:52). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
