  • A timezone offset like +05:30 applies to many different places. You can't determine which one a particular offset applies to any more than you can identify a place only using its longitude (or in the case of timezone, a range of longitudes). E.g. Asia/Calcutta, Asia/Colombo and Asia/Kolkata all use +05:30. – RobG Sep 15 '17 at 02:29

  • @Isaac—that will guess the timezone (and is not reliable), it will not provide a location as requested by the OP. – RobG Sep 15 '17 at 02:34
  • @ZamronyP.Juhara—that is not a duplicate (if that's what you're suggesting). – RobG Sep 15 '17 at 02:35
  • @RobG I was assuming the OP didnt need it to be that specific (as this is not possible, a lot of cities lie on the same timezones and the OP should know this, also part of the reason I degraded my answer to a comment). It's probably as close as they're going to get though – Isaac Sep 15 '17 at 02:36

    @Isaac—yes, it's not possible: "*I want the location name Asia/Kolkata.*" ;-) – RobG Sep 15 '17 at 02:37
  • @RobG it is not, but it may help. – Zamrony P. Juhara Sep 15 '17 at 05:21
  • I want exactly what RobG sed @Isaac – byteC0de Sep 15 '17 at 07:28
