Important Parana Guidelines:

- It is crucial to complete Parana within Dwadashi unless Dwadashi ends before sunrise, as not doing so is considered an offence.
- Avoid Parana during Hari Vasara, waiting for it to conclude before breaking the fast. Hari Vasara is the first one-fourth duration of Dwadashi Tithi.
- The recommended time to break the fast is Pratahkal, with Madhyahna being less preferable. If unable to break the fast during Pratahkal, opt for it after Madhyahna.
