Dwadashi · the parana
7:24 AM – 9:21 AMSaturday, 21 NovemberOn Dwadashi morning, once the Hari vasaram is over, the vratham is completed: theertham with malar and tulasi first, then the meal.
Times for Columbus, OH in EST, UTC−5, rounded to the minute, computed by Kalava's engine for this town's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise. How
The bright Ekadasi of Vrischikam is the day Guruvayurappan was installed, and Kerala keeps it as the Ekadasi that counts for all the year's. One meal on Dashami, no rice on the day, His names through the Hari vasaram, and the parana with malar and tulasi in the theertham.
The vrat
Full upavasam is the strictest way; whoever cannot keep it eats once, without rice. Someone unwell, carrying a child, diabetic or elderly eats as they need and keeps the names.
