On July 13, the whole country celebrates Kamika Ekadashi, which is a holy day. Drik Panchnag says that the Ekadashi tithi started on July 12 at 2:29 PM and will end on July 13 at 2:54 PM. Breaking the fast is called Parana. After sunrise on the day after the Ekadashi fast, the Ekadashi Parana is done. Parana must be done during Dwadashi Tithi, unless Dwadashi ends before morning.
