Rajendra Tower (Hindi: राजेंद्र टावर), locally known as Tower Chowk,[1] is a historic clock tower in Gaya, Bihar, India.[2] Built sometime between 1910 and 1914 during the British rule by the-then collector George Oldhum, it was renamed as Rajendra Tower after the first Indian president Dr. Rajendra Prasad in 1981 by the administration of Bihar's Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra. The tower is widely considered to be the symbol of the city.[3]
