It is said to have been installed in the 1840s during the reign of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma. The clock is constructed from Mahogany by an artisan called Kulathooran.[1] Records show that two clockwork mechanisms were purchased by the then State of Travancore from Chennai. One was installed at Trivandrum, the other at Padmanabhapuram Palace, in Tamil Nadu.

The clock still works perfectly, and strikes each hour in a day. The clock now runs on software developed by the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (CDIT). The Methan Mani remains a popular landmark in the city with the chimes audible around the locality.

Methamani clock tower, Thiruvananthapuram

Metha Mani Clock tower opposite to Padma Theertham near Kuthiramalika Palace museum of Sree Padmanabha swami temple, Thiruvananthapuram. It has two goats and a butcher's face embedded on it on the top. When ever the clock is going the strike (once in every 30min) the goats go and hit the butcher's face and he opens mouth. The number of times this happens is according to the hour. So the best time to watch is at noon.
