The Clock Tower of Murshidabad, also known as Ghari Ghar or the Big Ben of Murshidabad, is a prominent historical landmark situated within the Nizamat Fort Campus in Murshidabad, West Bengal. 

Designed by Sagore Mistri, an Indian Bengali assistant to Colonel McLeod, the architect of the Hazarduari Palace, the tower stands as a testament to the architectural ingenuity of its time. The structure is adorned with a heavy-sounding bell and features four masonry shields placed at its ground-level corners.

Its clock dial faces eastward, towards the Bhagirathi River, likely intended for sailors and passengers traveling by boat. The tower is located in the garden space between the Nizamat Imambara and the Hazarduari Palace, with the Madina Mosque and the Bacchawali Tope situated nearby.

This iconic monument not only serves as a functional timepiece but also adds to the historical and cultural richness of Murshidabad.
