Sidi Bashir Mosque, Mosque with twin minarets in Ahmedabad, India.
The Sidi Bashir Mosque features a central gateway connecting two tall minarets, each adorned with three stories of carved balconies.
The mosque, constructed in 1452, suffered extensive damage during the 1753 conflict between Marathas and the Mughal governor, leaving only the gateway and minarets standing.
The mosque represents the architectural traditions of Islamic design in Gujarat, incorporating local craftsmanship with structural engineering methods of the period.
Located near Ahmedabad Junction railway station, the monument remains closed for climbing following safety regulations implemented after incidents at similar structures.
The minarets demonstrate an unexplained physical phenomenon where shaking one minaret causes the other to vibrate while the connecting passage remains still.
