Ghanta Ghar, also known as the Clock Tower, stands at the heart of Jodhpur's old city within the bustling Sardar Market. Built in the late 19th century by Maharaja Sardar Singh, this red sandstone tower features an ornate Gothic-style clock mechanism. Surrounding it is a vibrant bazaar selling textiles, spices, and handicrafts. Visitors can climb the tower for a view of the market square, but the main experience is soaking in the lively atmosphere below, with vendors and rickshaws creating a constant hum of activity.
Don't miss
- Admire the intricate red sandstone carvings and the clock face from the street level.
- Explore the surrounding Sardar Market for local spices, silver jewelry, and Jodhpuri fabrics.
- Climb the narrow stairs to the top for a bird's-eye view of the old city's blue houses.
