Chikka Gadiyara, located in Mysuru, is a charming historical clock tower that stands as a testimony to the city's rich heritage. My visit to this iconic landmark was a captivating journey back in time. As I approached Chikka Gadiyara, its intricate architecture and the quaint surroundings immediately caught my attention. The clock tower, adorned with detailed carvings and traditional motifs, exuded a timeless elegance. The intricate craftsmanship spoke volumes about the cultural and artistic prowess of the bygone era. Upon reaching the top, the panoramic view of Mysuru city was breathtaking. The gentle breeze carried whispers of stories from the past, adding to the overall mystique of the place. I could feel the pulse of the city beneath, resonating with the ticking of the historic clock. Surrounded by vibrant markets and the bustling life of Mysuru, Chikka Gadiyara served as a serene escape. It not only offered a glimpse into the architectural brilliance of yesteryears but also provided a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. My experience at Chikka Gadiyara was not just a visit to a historical site; it was a profound connection with the cultural tapestry of Mysuru. The clock tower stood tall, silently narrating the tales of time, and I left with a deep appreciation for the city's rich heritage.

Dufferin Clock Tower also known locally as 'Chikka Gadiyara' (meaning Little Clock) in comparison with the Bigger clock or Dodda Gadiyara that is near the Town Hall. It served as a time keeper during the reign of the Wodeyars, when wearing a watch was a luxury. Dufferin Clock Tower is a heritage structure in Mysore. Located at the end of Devaraja Market, close to the KR Circle. This clock tower was commissioned in honor of the then British Viceroy of India, Lord Dufferin. He was the first Viceroy of the colonial India to pay a ceremonial and friendly state visit to the invitation of the Maharaja of Mysore Chamaraja Wodeyar X in 1886. (Officially Lord Lytton visited Mysore some 10 years back, but on connection with the famine that plagued south India).

A few years back you would have been forgiven for not noticing this tower because it was dump, street vendors and people had encroached this place and also haphazard parking all over. Thankfully the Heritage Department came forward and got the place vacated and together with the city council restored the lost glory of this beautiful place. It has benches around where you can sit and watch the hustle bustle of our Heritage City.

Open space near the city central market. Stone benches are there around for people to sit. Place was crowded couldn't find any bench to sit. Had to sit down near the chikka gadiyara to relax after roaming around the area. Can't say the place is not maintained as vegetable vendors and other vendors keep using the place hence throwing the garbage here & there even though there is regular cleaning done.
