The day, hour by hour
Vrat begins · the morning puja
6:41 AMThe vrat is kept from sunrise, the start of the tithi's day: the bath, the sankalp and Vishnu ji's morning puja with a tulsi leaf picked the day before.
The waking · dusk
4:18 PM – 7:11 PMPradosh kaal, sunset through the first fifth of the night: Vishnu ji's feet drawn, the sugarcane mandap, the ghee diya lit to burn through the night, and in North Indian homes the waking with the conch and the thali.
The waking · Dwadashi dawn
4:47 AM – 6:42 AMSaturday, 21 NovemberIn Gujarati and Marathi homes Vishnu ji is woken at dawn, after the night's diya: the conch, the bell, and His feet touched — the Vishnu-prabodhotsav the Marathi panchang keeps on Dwadashi.
Parana (next morning)
6:42 AM – 9:54 AMSaturday, 21 NovemberThe parana is taken on Dwadashi morning after sunrise: once Hari Vasara — the first quarter of Dwadashi — has passed, and before Dwadashi ends.
Times for Boston, MA in EST, UTC−5, rounded to the minute, computed by Kalava's engine for this town's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise. How
Vishnu ji has rested through the four months of the rains, and tonight the house wakes Him — His feet drawn at the door, the season's sugarcane and singhara set before Him, the conch and the thali sounding. With Him the year's weddings, housewarmings and new beginnings wake too, and the Chaturmas vrats come to their close.
The vrat
The vrat is the Ekadashi's: nirjala or on water where the body allows, otherwise one meal of phalahar, and at the least no rice and no salt. The parana is taken on Dwadashi morning in its window.
