Satkhanda

Satkhanda is a historic watchtower located in Bhopal, India, built in the late 19th century by Nawab Sikandar Begum. Its name means "seven stories," reflecting its seven levels, although originally it was planned to have nine but was never completed. The structure combines elements of Mughal and European architecture and was intended as a clock tower and observatory for the Nawab's leisure and to display his wealth. Today, Satkhanda stands as a heritage monument, offering insight into the architectural style and history of Bhopal during that period.
