I am using Asia/Calcutta timezone. Though its been quite sometime when it
was renamed to Asia/Kolkata . And it seems django doesn't know about
Asia/Kolkata. Please support the new name. Thank you.

Comment:

This actually isn't anything to do with Django itself. Django doesn't
include a list of timezone names or process the naming of timezones - it
only uses the TIME_ZONE setting to force the system environment to a
particular time zone. The support for Asia/Kolkata (or any other timezone)
is entirely dependent upon the support provided by your operating system.
OS/X, for example, supports Asia/Kolkata. Other operating systems (or
operating systems that haven't been updated since Calcutta changed it's
name) may not support the new name.
