The Clock Tower area is known for its towering clock tower which was constructed more than 100 years ago as a souvenir to the then Royal Family of Mewar and stands tall in the history of the City of Lakes.

While trying to learn more on the history of Ghanta Ghar, we met Prem Singh, owner of Krishna Watch Service, who was entrusted with the care of the Clock Tower from 1987-2010. According to him the Clock Tower was constructed in the year 1888.

The well-known jewelry market of Udaipur at Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower) is not only home to hundreds of traditional jewelers and ornament craftsmen but is also an entry and exit point to some of the prime tourist locations of Udaipur, including The City Palace.
