Ghanta Ghar, Clock tower in central Jodhpur, India.

The Ghanta Ghar rises 29 meters above Sardar Market, featuring five tiers of sandstone construction topped with a distinctive architectural dome.

Maharaja Sardar Singh commissioned this clock tower in 1910, importing the timepiece mechanism directly from the same manufacturers as London's clock towers.

The clock tower marks the beginning of Old Jodhpur and functions as a central meeting point where merchants display textiles, spices, and local crafts.

Visitors can reach Ghanta Ghar by taking auto-rickshaws or local buses from Jodhpur city center, with a travel distance of approximately 4 kilometers.

The structure incorporates traditional stone jharokhas and an octagonal stone fence, blending Indian architectural elements with European clock tower design.
