Chicago lies at 41.88° N, 87.63° W; local solar noon is at 11:35, with 9 h 45 min of daylight against 11 h 31 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Chicago’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 13 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (39 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
