Bangladesh is east of a vast majority of India and south of the Indian panhandle area. East of India is Myanmar (Burma), west of India is Pakistan, and Bhutan, China, and Nepal are situated northeast of India. The aptly-named Indian Ocean is south of India. Part of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea is west of India, while the Bay of Bengal is east. A teardrop-shaped island country, Sri Lanka, is south of India.

The Rupee's ISO 4217 currency code is INR.
