About Shaking Minarets
Sidi Bashir Mosque is a former mosque, only the central gateway and two minarets survive; they are known as the Jhulta Minar or Shaking Minarets. The mosque is believed to have been constructed either by Sidi Bashir, a slave of Sultan Ahmed Shah, or by Malik Sarang, a noble in the court of Mahmud Begada, another Sultan of Gujarat and has been dated to 1452. Mysteriously the shaking of one tower results in the vibration of the other.
