Bomanjee Hormarjee Wadia Clock Tower, Persian-style clock tower in Fort district, Mumbai, India
The tower stands at the intersection of Perin Nariman Street and Sir Phirozshah Mehta Road, featuring cuneiform inscriptions and Persian architectural details on each side.
Built in 1882 with public funds, this structure honors Bomanjee Hormarjee Wadia, who contributed to education through the Bombay Native Education Society and Elphinstone Institution.
The clock tower includes lamassus at every entrance and acanthus leaf cornices, reflecting the influence of Persian design elements in Mumbai's architecture.
The structure received restoration work in 2017 under conservation architect Vikas Dilawari, with funding from the Kala Ghoda Association to protect it from vandalism.
Originally equipped with a public drinking fountain, the tower earned an Honourable Mention in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.
