- Smarta 18/01/2027 (Mon) Parana · 19/01/2027 (Tue): to — Hari Vasara extends beyond Pratahkal, so Parana is done after Madhyahna, once Hari Vasara is over. Smarta: Dwadashi ends before the sunrise after the Ekadashi day, leaving no Dwadashi for Parana, so the fast is kept on the previous day; the Ekadashi day is the optional Gauna Ekadashi.
