Teave
Kiired faktid: Kõrguvalt Gurdaspuri linna südames on see koloniaalaja kell seadnud linna rütmi alates 19. sajandi lõpust. Selle nelja numbrilauale mehhanism töötab endiselt käsitsi, mida käivitab hooldaja, kes ronib igal nädalal torni üle 100 astme.
Esiletõstmised: Erinevalt paljudest kellatornidest, mis jäid seisma aastakümneid tagasi, lööb see veel iga tunni ajal oma originaalkellaga ja kohalikud seavad selle järgi oma kellasid. Üleskeeramismehhanism nõuab, et hooldaja tõmbaks iga nädal 30-kilogrammise raskuse tagasi üles, rituaal, mis pole muutunud üle sajandi.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
