Chennai is home to a vibrant Hindu community that observes Ekadashi vrat throughout the year. As one of India's major metropolitan cities, Chennai has numerous temples where devotees gather for Ekadashi prayers and bhajan sessions.
Ekadashi falls on the 11th day of each lunar fortnight - once in Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and once in Krishna Paksha (waning moon). Devotees fast from grains and beans, consuming only fruits, milk, and certain vegetables.
ISKCON Chennai, Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Parthasarathy Temple, and Tiruvanmiyur Sri Marundeeswarar Temple are popular for Ekadashi observances.
