You can use pytz to achieve this,

import pytz

datetime_with_new_tz = object.created_at.astimezone(pytz.timezone("Asia/Kolkata"))`

Also, i recommend you that always save datetimes as UTC, then you can convert it in the view or in your template as you need

Ie, if you want to convert the timezone in your template, you can use tz

{% load tz %}
{{object.created_at|timezone:"Asia/Kolkata"}}

You can change the default timezone.
