The map position we hold for this temple is approximate (the centre of its city), so sunrise-based times can differ from the temple’s own by a few minutes.
Method: we compute the dates at the temple’s own map position, in Central Time. We derive the zone from the state and the position with a small fixed table, so it can be wrong within a few miles of a zone border.

Until the temple shares its own calendar, this is the feed for Chicago, the nearest city we compute (about 210 mi away). Its times are for Chicago, far from this temple, so they can differ from the times above by many minutes, and on some days the date can differ too.
Festivals, Ekadashi with parana times and major vrats for Chicago, 2026 to 2027, by the Smarta rule. The list above uses the same rule. Your calendar app refreshes the feed about once a day.
