Ghanta Ghar
Coordinates: 26°17′42″N 73°01′27″E / 26.295122°N 73.024044°E Ghanta Ghar, also known as the clock tower of Rajasthan, is in the Indian city of Jodhpur.[1]
It was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh (1880-1911) from whom the market takes it name. In fact, the tower dominates the entire scenario. It's a 70 mm cinemascope with unknown and faceless humans in the lead roles for many tourists, most of whom are filming it live.
