Ghanta Ghar Chowk Multan is a historical and cultural landmark of the city of Multan, the fifth-largest city in Pakistan. The name Ghanta Ghar Chowk means “Clock Tower Town Square” in Urdu, and it refers to the large intersection near the clock tower of the city, which is also known as Ghanta Ghar or Clock Tower Multan1. The clock tower was built in 1884 by the British colonial authorities, who also named it after their former viceroys, Ripon and Northbrook1. The clock tower was constructed over the ruins of a haveli (mansion) that belonged to Ahmad Khan Sadozai, a local ruler who resisted the British invasion in 18481. The clock tower stopped working in 1985, but was repaired and restarted in 2011 by a watch company1. The clock tower now runs on solar energy and shows the time of PST (Pakistan Standard Time), which is +5 GMT1. Ghanta Ghar Chowk Multan is surrounded by several shrines and marketplaces that reflect the rich history and culture of Multan. Some of the notable places near the chowk are: The Tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam, a 14th century mausoleum of a famous Sufi saint who was revered by both Muslims and Hindus.

It was such a nice place. I stumbled upon this beautiful shop near Ghanta Ghar which has these hand made artifacts. The Ghanta Ghar itself was beautiful. A Guy inside the office was kind enough to allow me to go on the roof top of this tower which was the highlight of my day. Overall it was such a wholesome experience. Highly recommended.

گھنٹہ گھر ملتان 1884ء ملتان کا تاریخی گھنٹہ گھر جس مقام پر واقع ہے یہاں علی محمد خان سدوزئی کی حویلی ہوا کرتی تھی۔ ملتان پر ہونے والے حملوں کی وجہ سے حویلی شکست و ریخت کا شکار ہوئ۔ برطانوی دور حکومت میں میونسپل کمیٹیاں بنیں اور انکے دفاتر کے لیے سرکاری عمارتوں کی ضرورت پڑی تو 1884 میں علی محمد خان صدوزئ کی حویلی کو منہدم کر کے اسکی جگہ گھنٹہ گھر ملتان کی بنیاد رکھی گئ۔ یہ عمارت 1888 میں مکمل ہوئ۔ اس وقت کے لیفٹیننٹ گورنر پنجاب سر چارلس ایمفرسٹن ایچی سن نے گھنٹہ گھر ملتان کا سنگ بنیاد رکھا۔ چار سال بعد عمارت مکمل ہونے پر میونسپل کمیٹی کے دفاتر یہاں منتقل ہو گئے۔ آجکل یہاں والڈ سٹی پراجیکٹ ملتان اور ٹوارزم ڈیویلپمنٹ کارپوریشن پنجاب کا دفتر ہے۔ ملتان ایک تاریخی شہر ہے لیکن یہاں میوزیم کی کمی ہے۔ ہم حکام بالا سے گزارش کرتے ہیں کہ ملتان کی اس تاریخی عمارت میں ملتان میوزیم قائم کیا جاۓ۔ سید مزمل حسین وسیب ایکسپلورر Wasaib Explorer
