Ujjain, not Greenwich, is original time centre: Minister Pradhan

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said Ujjain is the original centre of global time calculation and not Greenwich. He stated that since the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the Tropic of Cancer lies at or near Ujjain, the city's ancient title as the abode of Mahakal, Master of Time, has a firm scientific and geographical basis.
