Explanation

The Indian Standard Time (IST) meridian (82.5°E) passes through Allahabad (now Prayagraj). This is why the reference longitude for Indian Standard Time is 82.5°E - exactly halfway between 78°E and 90°E. IST is UTC+5:30. The longitude line passes through several cities including Mirzapur near Allahabad.
