O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Smještena istaknuto u srcu grada Gurdaspura, ovaj kolonijalni satni toranj održava ritam grada od kasnog 19. stoljeća. Njegov mehanizam s četiri brojčanika još uvijek se ručno navija pomoću čuvara koji se svakog tjedna penje na više od 100 stepenika tornja.
Istaknuto: Za razliku od mnogih satnih tornjeva koji su prestali otkucavati prije desetljeća, ovaj još uvijek zvoni svaki sat svojim originalnim zvonom, a mještani po njemu podešavaju svoje satove. Mehanizam za navijanje zahtijeva da čuvar svakog tjedna povuče uteg od 30 kilograma natrag gore, ritual koji je nepromijenjen više od stoljeća.
Insajderski savjeti
- Ask the caretaker nicely and he may let you step inside the tower's base for a view of the massive gears in motion.
- Visit during a weekday morning when the square is quieter and you can photograph the tower without crowds or parked vehicles.
- Combine this with a walk through the adjacent Gurdaspur old market to see the British-era buildings surrounding the square.
- The best photo angle is from the southeast corner of the square, catching both the tower face and its shadow across the pavement.
