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

check django_timezones! this may help others too it consists of all other timezones for references

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Simple Change TIME ZONE from 'UTC' to 'Asia/Kolkata' remember K and A is Capital here.

Answer 4

Django stores timestamp so if we just change the TIME_ZONE variable Django will handle rest.

TIME_ZONE =  'Asia/Kolkata'

Answer 5

Modify setting.py and change the time zone to TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Kolkata'

Answer 6

TIME_ZONE =  'Asia/Kolkata'

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

USE_TZ = True

The above settings should work
