Adam's fountain, Colonial fountain in Ooty, India

The stone fountain stands at Charing Cross Junction, featuring intricate carvings and continuous water flow throughout the day.

Constructed in 1886 to commemorate William Patrick Adam, Governor of Madras, the fountain required 14,000 Rupees collected from public contributions.

The fountain represents British colonial influence in India through its architectural design and serves as a central meeting point in Ooty.

Located 1.7 kilometers from Ooty bus stand, the fountain remains accessible around the clock without entry fees.

The fountain illuminates at night through a dedicated light show, enhancing its structural details against the darkness.
