Visitors at the Surajkund Diwali fair in Faridabad are currently witnessing a unique creation that is leaving many astonished. While standard wall clocks found in homes are usually lightweight and compact, this exhibition features a massive timepiece weighing over 20 kilograms. Priced at approximately 25,000 rupees, the sheer scale and intricate craftsmanship of this giant clock are compelling passersby to pause and admire its design.
Crafted from Mango Wood
The most distinctive feature of this timepiece is that it has been meticulously built using mango wood. The fine detailing and patterns etched onto the surface are the result of extensive handiwork. Attendees visiting the fair are stopping by the display to gather details regarding its heavy weight, pricing methodology, and construction techniques.
The Artisan Behind the Creation
The artisan who crafted this piece, Nilkamal, travelled from Delhi to participate in the fair. Specialising in creating diverse wooden timepieces, he brought a 48-inch large clock to the exhibition grounds this season. Nilkamal notes that while he has constructed timepieces in multiple dimensions previously, this stands out as one of his largest works. His collection includes sizes ranging from 12 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, to 24 inches.
Range of Timepieces and Decor Items
Apart from this premium giant model, the collection features varied options catering to different preferences. The smaller clocks begin at a base price of 1,200 rupees, with costs scaling upward depending on the dimensions and complexity of the design. Additionally, the stall offers various decorative items starting from as low as 50 rupees, varying according to design, build quality, and size.
Awaiting a Buyer at the Fair
Although this 20 kg and 25,000-rupee wall clock remains unsold for now, the creator remains optimistic about finding a buyer before the Surajkund Diwali fair concludes. Standing out through its colossal proportions and detailed woodwork, it continues to draw massive attention from fairgoers eager to see which household wall it will eventually adorn.
