Today’s Panchang for Chennai
The Panchang describes the state of the sky for a day and place through its five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. Astronaad computes each from the real positions of the Sun and Moon, with sunrise, sunset and every muhurat window accurate to the minute for Chennai using the Lahiri ayanamsa — not a generic shared table.
