Hi @yuswanul !

Have you looked at this [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-datetime.html) about using Datetime in Painless?

There is a section called Datetime Zone(screenshot included). The timezone default is UTC but it looks like you can use methods with a ZoneID to change the timezone.

Hope this helps!
