Official documentation says :
{{{
When support for time zones is enabled, Django stores datetime information
in UTC in the database, uses time-zone-aware datetime objects internally,
and translates them to the end user’s time zone in templates and forms.
}}}
This is not True. In templates (including admin panel), Django uses
TIME_ZONE setting instead of end user's timezone.
