These are Gujarat (Jasdan), Rajasthan (Kalinjarh), Madhya Pradesh (Shajapur), Chhattisgarh (Sonhat), Jharkhand (Lohardaga), West Bengal (Krishnanagar), Tripura (Udaipur), Mizoram (Champhai).In India, the Mahi river that originates in Madhya Pradesh crosses the latitude twice. The nearest city to this latitude is Udaipur city in Tripura. On 22nd December the sun is directly overhead on the tropic of Capricorn marking the winter solstice.
The tropic of cancer passes through Rajasthan (Kalinjarh), Chhattisgarh (Sonhat), and Tripura (Udaipur).
