O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Uzdignut istaknuto u srcu grada Gurdaspura, ovaj časovnik iz kolonijalnog doba održava ritam grada od kasnog 19. veka. Njegov mehanizam sa četiri brojčanika i dalje radi, ručno navijan od strane čuvara koji se svake nedelje penje više od 100 stepenika na tornju.
Istaknuto: Za razliku od mnogih tornjeva sa satom koji su prestali da rade pre decenijama, ovaj i dalje zvoni svakog sata svojim originalnim zvonom, a meštani podešavaju svoje satove prema njemu. Mehanizam za navijanje zahteva da čuvar svake nedelje izvuče teg od 30 kilograma, ritual koji je nepromenjen više od jednog veka.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
