Explanation:

The reason for the sun rising two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the West is because of their location which is on two different longitude but the watches show the same time as the time along the Central Meridian of India i.e. 82°32'E passing through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh is taken as the standard meridian of the whole India . to avoid the confusion among the people, making the watches showing same time.

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is about 30°. The east-west extent is smaller than the north-south extent. There is a time lag of two hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. As Arunachal Pradesh lies to the eastern side of India, the sun rises here earlier when compared to Gujarat. The time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30’E) passing through Mirzapu is taken as the standard time for the whole country. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night, as one moves from south to north. Therefore, the watches show the same time in all the parts of the country.
