India is the seventh largest country with 2.4% of total area of the world. Indian Sub-continent includes India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan, lying totally in northern hemisphere. The physiography of India is unique and is responsible for development of distinctive features in the sub-continent.

The Indian Mainland extends from 8°4′ north and 37°6′ North in length(latitudes). And between 68°7′ East and  97°25′ East in width (longitudes). This makes the North-south extension of 3214 km and East-west extension of 2933 km.

At 23°30′ North, the Tropic of Cancer passes through the centre of India, dividing the country into two equal parts – Northern and Southern India. The Tropic of Cancer passes through eight states in India – Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram.

Between the Western and Eastern longitudes there is a difference of 30 degrees which causes a difference of about two hours between the western-most and eastern most areas of the country. The Standard Meridian lies on 82°30′ East longitude, which falls in the middle of the country. It sets the Indian Standard Time(5 and half hour ahead of GMT).  The Standard Meridian passes through Mirzapur near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.

To understand the geography of India, it is important to understand the Physiography of India
