Purimaddh

Abstaining until the first half of the day has passed — until midday.

How the time is derived

Exactly half the daylight period, so the midpoint between sunrise and sunset.

Example — 12:16 at Ladnun on 24 October.

Times are derived from sunrise and sunset using the commonly cited Śvetāmbara reckoning. Confirm against your own panchang or teacher.
