About Rājkot time
Rājkot keeps one clock.
In Rājkot, Western India's gateway to the Gujarat region, the workday kicks off with the early sunrise over the Saurashtra coastline, wrapping up comfortably before dusk settles in. As part of India Standard Time, daily rhythm follows the subcontinent's steady clock—perfectly aligned with New Delhi but worlds apart in local flavor.
