Darjeeling Clock Tower
The Darjeeling Clock Tower, also known as Ghanta Ghar, is a historic landmark located at the junction of Gandhi Road and Ladenla Road in Darjeeling, West Bengal.
Constructed in 1921, the clock tower is part of the Darjeeling Municipality Building and is a fine example of neo-Gothic and neo-Classical architecture. The tower stands at an impressive 100 feet tall and features four clock faces, similar to the famous Big Ben in London.
The clock tower has a rich history and has survived a devastating fire in 1996, which led to its restoration in 2006 by the Darjeeling Rotary Club. The tower's musical clock chimes a fine tone followed by the striking of a bell every hour, serving as a reminder of the time to the locals.
The area around the clock tower, known as Chowrasta, is a bustling market area and a popular meeting place for locals and tourists alike.
