In Munitraya tradition, we observe fasting during occasions like Ekadasi, Shravana Dwadasi, Sri Rama Navami, Sri Narasimha Jayanthi, Srijayanthi and once on the days of eclipses, if the eclipse ends after sunset. The day after such days, should we cook food according to the paranai menu or as per the cooking on normal days?

We cook food as per the paranai menu only following Ekadasi, Srirama Navami, Sri Narasimha Jayanti, Srijayanthi, etc.; we do not add tamarind for paranai; partaking food after an eclipse is forbidden hence during eclipses a householder does not take food, which is not fasting. If the sunsets during eclipse, there is no paranai after the eclipse ends.
