Tropic of Cancer is the northerly circle of the latitude on the Earth at an angle of 23.43 degree north to the equator, at which the Sun appears to be directly overhead at its culmination. It is also called as the Northern Tropic.
The Tropic of Cancer passes through 8 states in India including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Mizoram, and Tripura. The Indian city that is closest to the Tropic of Cancer is Mayapur, West Bengal which is located at 23.438°N 88.392°E, only 0.0012055° away from the Tropic of Cancer.
However, Tropic of cancer does not divide India into equal halves. The center of India is at a latitude of approximately 21.15°N, near northern Maharashtra.
