Dear Mr. Zotti & Mr. Wolf;

Thanks for looking into my bug observation. I had a look at the pull down menu for time-zones and confirmed what you said that a time zone title for "Asia/Kolkata" is not present. However, there is one for "Asia/Calcutta" which (if entered manually); does set the program to the proper UTC+05:30, which the entire country of India is in. I confirmed this via the website 'timeanddate.com'.
I wonder if you had meant to say Calcutta when you said Kolkata? If so Calcutta does exist, but for some reason the program is not pulling it and using it for India locations.

Same goes for Nepal. I confirmed via 'timeanddate.com' that the proper offset for Nepal is UTC+05:45, and there is a time zone title in Stellarium of "Asia/Katmandu", that (if selected manually), will set the clock to the proper UTC+05:45. But upon entering a Nepal location, for some strange reason, it cannot find it on its own.
