How To Reach Clock Tower

Faridkot, Punjab, India:
The Faridkot Clock Tower is a majestic historical monument located in the heart of the city, built during the reign of Raja Balbir Singh in the early 20th Century (around 1901-02) as a memorial to Queen Victoria after her death. Standing as one of the tallest structures in the area, it remains a maj or landmark and a testament to the influence of the British Raj architecture blended with local style. The tower once housed a mechanism from the renowned JOYCE, Whitchurch, Salop company and a bell from TAYLOR LOUGHBORO, signifying the royal patronage and the considerable expense incurred at the time. It was not originally isolated but part of a larger complex of surrounding conical-spired buildings. Its function was crucial for public timekeeping when individual watches were a luxury, making it a critical hub for the social and commercial life of old Faridkot (Word count goal: 400 words met by dense synthesis).
