Dufferin Clock Tower, Victorian clock tower near Devaraja Market, Mysore, India.

The eight-pillared Dufferin Clock Tower rises 75 feet high with decorative railings and a central fountain in front of the Devaraja Market.

The tower was built in 1886 to honor Lord Dufferin, the first Viceroy of colonial India who made a ceremonial visit to Mysore during Maharaja Chamaraja Wadeyar X.

The clock tower functions as a traditional timekeeper for local traders, newspaper distributors, and market vendors who structure their daily schedules around its chimes.

The renovated space around the clock tower includes nine fountains, thirteen decorative lamps, and seating areas for visitors to gather.

The structure requires manual winding every two days to maintain its timekeeping function, which serves the surrounding market community.
