console.log(date.toLocaleString('en-IN', { timeZone: 'Asia/Kolkata' }));
// Output: "19/12/2025, 9:15:00 am"

Python:

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

ist = pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata')
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(1766115900000/1000, ist)
print(dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z'))
# Output: 2025-12-19 09:15:00 IST
