I will keep it simple and straight.

The standard local time observed at a particular place is a derivative of the longitude that passes through it and the time at that place is calculated with respect to the Greenwich Mean Time.

Arunachal Pradesh lies on the easternmost tip of the country and Gujarat lies on the westernmost tip and both the states are separated by a distance of over 3300 kilometers.

There is a four minute difference between two consecutive longitudes. If you count the number of longitudes passing through India between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh and multiply it by 4 minutes, you will find that the difference is approximately 120 minutes.

And to make it even simpler, our day starts with the rising sun. People in Arunachal Pradesh have the fortune of being the first set of people in the country to view the rising sun across India , 2 hours earlier than the people in Gujarat

P.S. If you haven't , do visit Arunachal Pradesh. It is an extremely beautiful place. Hope this helps :)

Have a nice time:) :)
