Shaking Minarets |
|
South of the railway station, opposite the large gate of Sarangpur Darwaja, Sidi Bashir's minars are all that remain of the mosque popularly named after one of Ahmed Shah's favorite slaves. Over 21 m high these are the best existing example of the "Shaking Minarets" - built on a foundation of flexible sandstone. It is said that the minarets were built like this to protect them form the damage during the earthquakes. |
