Jhulta Minar, meaning 'Swaying Twin Minarets', a part of the Siddi Bashir Mosque in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is an engineering marvel of Islamic architecture built in the year 1461. The 3-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 still remains a mystery, unsolved by engineers world over. According to popular belief, the Jhulta Minar was built to receive early signals of earthquakes.
