Young Fold
India has a landmass covering approximately 3.28 million square kilometers, which accounts for about 2.4 percent of the world’s total geographical area. Ranked seventh in terms of land area globally, India is bordered by Young Fold mountains in the northwest, north, and northeast. As one moves south of approximately 22° north latitude, the landmass begins to taper towards the Indian Ocean, dividing it into the Arabian Sea to the west and the Bay of Bengal to the east. Despite a latitudinal and longitudinal extent of about 30°, India’s east-west extent appears smaller compared to its north-south extent.
Standard Meridian of India passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) at 82°30’E is considered the standard time for the entire country. The latitudinal extent also affects the duration of day and night as one moves from south to north.
