The Clock Tower, Shikarpur, also known as Ghanta Ghar, is a landmark situated in the city center of Shikarpur, Sindh.
Constructed in 1935, the clock tower was built in memory of Seth Heranand Nandhiram Bajaj by his sons, Seth Kunia Lal Bajaj and Seth Raja Ram Bajaj.[1][2] A distinctive stone from Jai Pur, Rajasthan, commemorating the inauguration, is placed at the base of the tower.[3]
