Historical Significance

Erected in 1927 in Mysuru, the Silver Jubilee Clock Tower was constructed to mark the 25th anniversary of the reign of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, one of modern Mysore's most progressive rulers. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style with distinct Rajasthani palace architectural elements, the 75-foot tower stands near the Town Hall and remains a major civic landmark in Mysuru, celebrated through this permanent postal cancellation.
