Sardar Market lies slap bang
in the city centre. It has a beacon to signal its location, the imposing
Clock Tower (also known as Ghanta Ghar by local) that was built by
Maharaja Sardar Singh (1880-1911) from whom the market takes it name. In
fact, the tower dominates the entire scenario.
The sights and sounds of the
market must be experienced, even if you don’t intend to buy anything as
it is a stupendous cornucopia of a mix of the human species, a spectacle
where you can casually look around and see what generally transpires in
a busy and noisy Indian market in a city on the run. Locals hawk
virtually everything like bangles, imitation jewellery, fruit & veg,
spices, pottery, baskets, clothes, etc.
