Chinnakada Clock Tower, Clock tower at Chinnakada Junction, Kollam, India
The four-sided tower constructed of brick and white cement displays clocks facing all cardinal directions in the center of Kollam city.
Built between 1941 and 1944, this tower honors K G Parameshwaran Pillai, who served as chairman of Kollam Municipality from 1932 to 1948.
The name Chinnakada derives from China-Kada, reflecting the historical Chinese trade presence through discovered coins and artifacts near Kollam port.
Located near Kollam Junction Railway Station, the tower functions as a central reference point where National Highway 66 meets Highway 744.
The Kerala Government allocated 2 million rupees to renovate this first clock tower of the former Travancore state, now an unofficial symbol.
