This coordinate reference system (CRS) represents
the canonical projection used by the mapindia package. It can
be used to transform shape files, spatial points, spatial data
frames, etc. to the same coordinate representation that is used
by the plot_india function.
Value
An `sf::st_crs` object representing the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) for India, specifically EPSG:4326 (WGS 84). This CRS uses latitude and longitude coordinates and is commonly used for geographic data.
