Anantapur clock tower, Clock tower in central Anantapur, India.
The clock tower rises 47 feet high in the middle of Anantapur city, featuring eight faces on its cylindrical structure with a 30-meter diameter.
Built in 1945 under district judge M. Ramachandra Naidu's direction, the tower commemorates the martyrs of India's independence movement, inaugurated on August 15, 1947.
The tower's dimensions carry symbolic meanings: 47 feet for 1947, 15-foot radius for the 15th day, and 8 faces for August, marking India's independence.
