Happy janamashtmi and happy fasting

[AR]

hi

How do Hindus fast?

on fasting day early morning there are prayers, then for whole day no one eates. and fast is opened in the night after seeing the moon(in case of janmastmi)

I see, so you don't eat during daylight hours?

Similar to the Month of Ramadan.

Is there anything in particular you open your fast with?

Actually that depends on the fast. generally hindus fast on every monday and some on tuesday. in normal fast you cannot have regular food but of course fruits and certain things permissible in fast. but then there are few couple of fasts in which you even cannot have water. those who dont fast generally avoid non veg on monday and tuesday.

There is nothing specific you need to break fast.
