You can get the DateTimeZone depending on the Canonical ID defined in the Joda Time,

DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.forID("Asia/Kolkata");

Joda Time has a complete list of Canonical ID from where you can get TimeZone depending on the Canonical ID.

So, if you want to get the local time in New York at this very moment, you would do the following

 // get current moment in default time zone
    DateTime dt = new DateTime();
    // translate to New York local time
    DateTime dtNewYork = dt.withZone(DateTimeZone.forID("America/New_York"));

here it is explained very perfectly which is my reference to your question

x is the time zone id, there are a link of a list of them. Only need to feed the gettimeZone("with the time zone id") with the time zone of the city you want to know the time (I'm saying city because there are country with a lot of time zones like US or Russia).

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("x")
