Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar):
Rising proudly above the bustling lanes of Jodhpur’s old bazaar stands the Clock Tower, locally known as Ghanta Ghar — a beloved landmark that has kept time and tradition alive for over a century. At The Jodhpur Tour Guide, we invite you to explore not just this historic tower, but also the vibrant life that surrounds it in the famous Sardar Market.
A Glimpse into Jodhpur’s Heritage
The Clock Tower was built in the late 19th century by Maharaja Sardar Singh, as a symbol of modernization and civic pride. With its elegant design and striking presence, the tower became a central point around which the city’s commercial and social activities thrived — and continue to do so today.
Set against the backdrop of Mehrangarh Fort and framed by rows of bustling shops, Ghanta Ghar offers a unique window into Jodhpur’s living culture.
