If you want to chage timezone for the whole app you have to change it in config.app file 'timezone' => 'Asia/Colombo'

This will also change created_at, updated_at time to the mentioned timezone

Use setTimezone on the Carbon instance, e.g.

\Carbon\Carbon::parse("2021-02-26T03:49:20Z")->setTimezone('Asia/Colombo')->toDateTimeString();
// => "2021-02-26 09:19:20"
