I want to say even though it is small circle, it is very busiest place. My request is that public should park their vehicles at road side. Thereby it is free to walk and purchase the fruits. The shop owners situated at devaraja market building occupied the foot path also except book stalls. But the public must be very careful from pick pockets.Police are busy by maintaining traffic. We cant blame them. 0nly corporation authority made some changes.

Our batch performed flash mob regarding CPR awareness in public.

Its Heritage Small Clock Tower , Every Day Early Mornings & Evenings you can seat Enjoy in Chairs , Walk Around & See Big Group Birds Flying & Many Pedestrians Going Shivarampet , Busy Big Devaraja Market & Sayaji rao Road for Shopping .

Its too busy always.. you will find people roaming all around carrying bags for shopping.. you have to be good at driving to pass through the side roads and the sight is superb when there are no much people.. use helmet while you pass through so that u dont have to pay any fine..

Open space near the city central market. Stone benches are there around for people to sit. Place was crowded couldnt find any bench to sit. Had to sit down near the chikka gadiyara to relax after roaming around the area. Cant 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.

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).

Historical city mysuru,it has its own story for every single step.

This area is a lot of fun , with so many people selling their produce. Shows the city in an energetic and exciting way.

Awesome place. Very near to guru sweets. The first makers of Mysore pak. Heritage. Very near to main vegetable and fruits market

Government need to consider making this place pedestrian.

Mysiru HeritageRecently the surrounding is renovated .It is a market place.we visit here one day before any Hindu festival for festival shopping.We get all pooja and festival items for respective festivals.We can see many various fruit vendors and vegetable vendors.It will be too crowded here from morning 6:00 am to night 9:00 pm. And during festival times we cannot step into here.Parking is difficult.There are few one-ways attached to clock tower. So be careful otherwise police will catch for violating the traffic rules.The corporation was planning for musical evening here on special occasions. It might have implemented and also stopped as the Mayor changes every year.

One of the main market area of the mysuru lots of coffee powder shops are located here bust place to hang out on evenings many fast foods available here at evening located very near to bus stand

A colourful and an everbusy place. Spend some time here to immerse yourself into the bygone era charm of the royal City.

Good place for buy vegetables at low price,and i found many many carless people without any tension,lots of people spend time here for relaxation and some poor people use this place for sleep,

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.

Good place, has a bit of history attached to this place. Lots of shops and street vendors around selling the best of seasonal fruits.

This Place gives you 80s atmosphere...

Hawker and peddlers should be allowed to sell their items as its space can effectively utilised

Nice place to sit next to the market. Historical clock tower 👌

Loved this vibrant place

The space around the clock tower was formerly used by hawkers and vehicle parkers. The heritage department vacated the hawkers and emptied the space for development. In 2012, the city council completed the work of renovating the space around the clock tower with tiles and seats for tourists. The space is spacious enough to conduct small gatherings. The work was completed on a project of four million Indian rupees. Nine small fountains and 13 decorated lamps were added to the space. The place is now suitable for conducting small music concerts. [

Good for a quick visit. The place is situated in a bustling market.

A clock located right next to a bustling marketplace, with people selling flowers right on the footpath of the clock tower

Nice place but crowded a bit

Vintage style market area, you shop everything like traditional things and food items ,,,,

I dont know if its a tourist attraction. Its actually a place for fruit vendors all around. One can easily plant 10 Honge trees around the clock. Itll create beautiful shade for people sitting as well as for vendors.I always wonder why nobody cares.

My first visit to south india.such a nice place with kind and hard working people.

Although this cannot be considered as a tourist attraction it is a very good example for architecture of MysorePerformed a street play over here....This should be remunerated and improved a lot .. in all dimensions

Beutiful place to practice Yoga and meditation... 🙏

Its known as DUFFERIN CLOCK tower.Lovely place to sit there and enjoy market crowd.

Great place to have food

Its one of the oldest things to visit in Mysore!

Nice timepass place

Cultural heritage of mysore

A bustling place with flowers, fruits and vegetables sellers scattered around. Do bargain but not too much. This is a landmark as old as the palace. There’s seating benches around, one can come in the early mornings or late evenings and bask in sunset and spend time. Usually the parking space is always full here, so park elsewhere and come by walk.

This place is full of peace. It has its own market where vendors sell vegetables and fruits. Very nice place

More like a market place, and a go to place for whole sale priced groods.

This place is full of peace. It has its own market where vendors sell vegetables and fruits. Very nice place

Nice place✌🏻

Mysore always the best

Nice place but crowded

Visit Early in the Morning :)

I own a stationary shop here and I have witnessed how the space has been changed since decades. This space is an example for a living heritage. This space is an active market place with colours of fruits and flowers creating a colourful landscape.

A very old monument in Mysuru. located near Devaraka Market, this place is a very busy place with lots of street vendors near by

A good place for buying fresh fruits and vegetables. But cleanliness has to be maintained. Mysoreans have a special connection with the place.

Peace☮️

The Clock tower is Historical place, As it is near Devaraja Market, it is surrounded by flower merchants and other sellers. Thanks to the MCC for the step taking to upgrade the area by placing stone benches/chairs people can spend their time there, elephant statues and stone tiles on the floor. Many street plays happened here.
