The opening as it read in 2025
Sidi Bashir Mosque is a former Sufi mosque , now in partial ruins, in Ahmedabad , in the state of Gujarat , India . Only the central gateway and two minarets survive; they are known as the Jhulta Minar or Shaking Minarets . The structure is a Monument of National Importance . The Jhulta Minar , a part of the Siddi Bashir Mosque, is an engineering marvel of Indo-Islamic architecture built in 1461 CE . The three-storey tall structure, with intricate designs on each minaret, is famous for its built-in quality of swaying to the minimum force applied to its uppermost arc. A gentle shaking of either minaret results in the vibration of the other minaret after a few seconds, though the connecting passage remains free of any vibration. This unconventional structure is a mystery, unsolved by engineers. According to popular belief, the Jhulta Minar was built to receive early signals of earthquakes. Archaeological Survey of India .
