The 82 and a half degree longitude is geographically significant as with it the Indian Standard Time is determined. All other times are calculated with the help of this longitude, and for India the timing is GMT + 5.30. It is located just west of the town of Mirzapur, near Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
