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

Keep TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Kolkata' in settings.py file and restart the service from where you are accessing the timezone (server or shell). In my case, I restarted the python shell in which I was working and it worked fine for me.
