The earth rotates from west to east. Therefore, there would be sunrise in the eastern states earlier. Later, gradually, the sunrise can be seen from the western states of India. The order in which the sunrise would be seen is as follows :
- Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh
- Kolkata (West Bengal)
- Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh)
- Nagpur (Maharashtra)
- Mumbai (Maharashtra)
