What Ekadashi is and how it is kept: the Ekadashi 2027 guide.

Ekadashi in Chennai: questions

+ How many Ekadashi days are there in 2027 in Chennai?
25, computed for Chennai's coordinates and the Asia/Kolkata time zone. The first falls on Sun, Jan 3 and the last on Thu, Dec 23.
+ Are Chennai Ekadashi dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the sunrise that decides the day happens at a different moment in Chennai. In 2027, 25 of 25 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 0 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Ekadashi tithi is in force at sunrise. Where it holds at two sunrises, the first is shown and the second is flagged; where it begins and ends between two sunrises, the day it begins is shown. 2 of this year's 25 entries for Chennai are flagged because of that. Local temples may follow a particular sampradaya's rule, so check with them for ritual purposes.
+ How accurate are these times?
Times come from truncated astronomical series and should fall within a few minutes of a full ephemeris. Near a boundary a published panchanga may assign a different day. They are for planning practice, not for precise ritual muhurta.
