Explanation:

Mid-day sun is exactly overhead only once a year in cities in India which are located exactly on the Tropic of Cancer i.e. 23^o 26' 16" N. Those located above the Tropic will never have the sun overhead anytime of the year, while those located below the Tropic will have it twice a year, once between March 22 and June 22 and the other time between June 22 and September 22.
