How to add Indian Standard Time (IST) in Django?

Question

We want to get the current time in India in our Django project. In settings.py, UTC is there by default. How do we change it to IST?

Answer 1

Change the field TIME_ZONE in the settings.py. For the Indian standard time you will need:

TIME_ZONE =  'Asia/Kolkata'
