Los Angeles is home to over 300,000 Indians, with the South Asian community concentrated in Artesia (the 'Little India' of Southern California), Cerritos, Diamond Bar, and the San Fernando Valley. The Malibu Hindu Temple (Venkateswara Swami) draws devotees from across Southern California. Hollywood and the LA entertainment industry also has a growing Indian creative professional community, while Gujarati and Indian entrepreneurs are prominent in the motel, gas station, and hospitality sectors that define American roadside commerce.
Los Angeles also uses Pacific Time (UTC-8/UTC-7), and its coordinates, at 34.05°N, 118.24°W, mean its sunrise differs from San Francisco (37.77°N, 122.42°W) by about 20–25 minutes (LA is further south and east, so it rises a bit earlier). The IST error is the same as SF: 13.5 hours in winter. CosmosPandit calculates from LA's own coordinates for precise Southern California timings.
The LA Indian community is particularly diverse: Gujarati entrepreneurs and professionals, Telugu Andhra diaspora, Tamil and Malayali communities in Cerritos and Diamond Bar, Punjabi Sikhs in the Central Valley periphery, and a large Hindi-speaking North Indian community across the county. All 8 languages are fully supported.
