How to get the current time in any location

I have to upload an image and with that i have to send the date and time when the image is uploaded, I am getting the latitude and longitude of the device from which it is uploaded, now i want to get the time and date of that location at that point of time when the image is uploaded. I do not want to take the date and time from device, Is it possible to get the date and time with the help of latitude and longitude of that place.

You can get the time zone and the current local time for a lat long from webservice by GeoNames http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html#timezone.

Demo link http://api.geonames.org/timezoneJSON?lat=47.01&lng=10.2&username=demo

Output Format
