The Silver Jubilee Clock Tower in Mysore is located adjacent to Chamaraja Circle near Mysore Palace. Built in 1927, it is also known by the name "Big Clock Tower".
It was built to commemorate the 25 years rule of Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore. The clock tower is 75 feet tall and boasts of different architectural styles.
Built in Indo-Saracenic style has a curvilinear chhajja lends a Rajasthani touch to the domed canopy. Under the dome there are arches of early English architecture. The tower has 5 feet diameter clock that spots Kannada numerals on it.
