Hint: India is partitioned into 28 States (further partitioned into locale) and 8 association regions including the National capital domain (i.e., Delhi). Its outskirts with Pakistan and Bangladesh were depicted by the Radcliffe Line, which was made in 1947 during Partition of India.

Complete answer:
India is situated on the Indian subcontinent in south-focal Asia, and is situated in both the eastern and northern sides of the equator. India is flanked by the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Gulf of Mannar, Indian Ocean, and the nations of Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Burma (Myanmar).

Scope and LONGITUDE: Scope/Longitude (Absolute Locations)
New Delhi: (capital city) 28° 38’ N, 77° 13’ E
Kochi: 9° 55’ N, 76° 16’ E
Kolkata: 22° 34’ N, 88° 21’ E
Mumbai: 19° 4’ N, 72° 52’ E
Srinagar: 34° 5’ N, 74° 47’ E.

The Ganga is the longest waterway starting in India. The Ganga–Brahmaputra framework involves the majority of northern, focal, and eastern India, while the Deccan Plateau possesses a large portion of southern India. Kangchenjunga, in the Indian province of Sikkim, is the most noteworthy point in India at 8,586 m (28,169 ft.) and the world’s third most elevated pinnacle. The atmosphere across India goes from tropical in the far south, to elevated and tundra in the upper districts of the Himalayas. India is arranged altogether on the Indian Plate, a significant structural plate that was shaped when it split off from the antiquated mainland Gondwanaland (old landmass, comprising the southern piece of the supercontinent of Pangea).

Note:
In light of the Köppen framework, India has six significant climatic subtypes, going from the parched desert in the west, high tundra and ice sheets in the north, and damp tropical districts supporting rainforests in the southwest and the island regions. The country has four seasons: winter (January–February), summer (March-May), a rainstorm (blustery) season (June–September) and a post-storm period (October–December).
