Abhijit muhurat in Chennai today
11:29 AM to 12:16 PM, the eighth of the fifteen daylight muhurtas, which straddles Chennai's local noon. Traditionally it is not used on a Wednesday.
A good day in general is not a good day for you.
Everything above is the same for every person in Chennai today. Whether a day is good for you depends on what it does to your own Moon, your running period and the house the transit lands in, which is a birth chart question and not a calendar one. Written in English or Hinglish.

Why Chennai gets its own panchang
Today the Sun rises in Chennai at 6:01 AM and in Kolkata at 5:38 AM, 23 minutes later in Chennai. Sunrise in Kolkata and sunrise in Mumbai are nearly an hour apart, and every one of the day divisions below is measured from local sunrise. A panchang that does not ask where you are is giving you somebody else's Rahu Kaal. That is also why the tithi at sunrise can differ between two Indian cities on the same date.

Questions
What is Rahu Kaal in Chennai today?
11:52 AM to 1:20 PM, measured from Chennai's sunrise.
Why does the tithi in Chennai differ from another city?
A tithi is read at local sunrise, and sunrise moves by city. When a tithi changes between two cities' sunrises, the two panchangs name different tithis for the same date.
How this is calculated
Positions come from Skyfield and the JPL DE440s ephemeris, with our own Lahiri ayanamsa referred to the mean equinox of date. Every planet agrees with Swiss Ephemeris to under one arcsecond, and the lunar node to under a tenth of one. We publish that because nobody else in this market publishes theirs.
- Skyfield. The astronomy library that computes every position on this site.
- JPL planetary ephemerides. NASA JPL's ephemeris export page. The DE440s kernel we load is the source of every raw planetary position.
- Capitaine, Wallace and Chapront (2003), IAU 2006 precession. The precession expressions our Lahiri ayanamsa is carried forward with from its J2000 anchor.
- Positional Astronomy Centre, Kolkata. The India Meteorological Department office that publishes the Rashtriya Panchang, which defines the Lahiri ayanamsa.
- Swiss Ephemeris. The reference implementation we test against: under one arcsecond on every planet. It is used only in our test suite, never on this site.
