Navalrai Clock Tower, Hyderabad

Navalrai Market Clock Tower or “Ghanta Ghar” of Hyderabad was built in 1914, and is a remnant of a pre-independence fish and meat market in the heart of Hirabad.

The clock tower is at the end of the Shahi Bazaar and at the main entrance of the Pakka Fort. The Shahi Bazaar is a typical Pakistani eastern bazaar, where you buy anything from food items to plastic goods, and Rallis etc. The Bazaar is also famous for other architectural buildings and havelis with small wood carved balconies.

To go up the Clock Tower, permission from the Municipal Corporation is needed. [source]
