Explanation

The provided coordinates, 15°48'00" N to 14°53'15" N latitude and 74°20'13" E to 74°40'33" E longitude, correspond to the state of Goa. Geographically, Goa is situated on the western coast of India. In contrast, Delhi is located much further north at approximately 28°N to 29°N latitude and 77°E longitude [1]. Chandigarh is also located in the northern region at roughly 30°N latitude [2]. Puducherry (specifically the main enclave) is located further south at approximately 11°N latitude. The latitudinal range of 14°N to 15°N and longitudinal range around 74°E specifically pinpoints the coastal state of Goa [2]. These coordinates define the spatial extent of the state within the Indian subcontinent's overall range of 8°N to 37°N latitude and 68°E to 97°E longitude.
