O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Ta kolonialna ura, ki se dviga v samem središču mesta Gurdaspur, določa ritem mesta že od poznega 19. stoletja. Njen mehanizem s štirimi številčnicami še vedno deluje ročno, saj skrbnik vsak teden prepleza več kot 100 stopnic stolpa.
Poudarki: Za razliko od mnogih stolpov z uro, ki so utihnili pred desetletji, ta še vedno vsako uro odbija s prvotnim zvonom in domačini si po njem nastavljajo ure. Navijalni mehanizem zahteva, da skrbnik vsak teden znova dvigne 30-kilogramsko utež, kar je obred, nespremenjen že več kot stoletje.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
