Fortunate and can vouch for these shaking minarets, as a child experienceed the same. Earlier these used to be quite open and accessible place and in present stage, you have to specifically locate this place. As you enter main kalupur station from relief road side, the right turn take you to station while a left side road take towards minarets. As you enter station you first see these minarets but everyone misses them mostly unaware of presence of such rare historic monuments. There is a grill gate at front which is locked so you go around to old platform 1 and entry from platform side. There is a temple adjacent to minarets as shown in photos. In present state feel satisfied with viewing and relishing the sculpture and wondering how shaking one minaret could shake the adjacent one. It is true and experienced by self. Enjoy.

The momentum located at end of the kalupur railway station
Even no one noticed this momentum I marked that
Two tower located at same place
Awesome art by architecture of olden era
The style of the minar is Islamic
I captured some photos of this place
If u have train from kalupur railway station and desire of visit some historic momentum
Than walk to platform no. 1 till the end you will find this place
Place is full of peagons and dove
You may find awesome peace in crowd area in this place

The Brick Minar as the name suggest are two minarets, made entirely out of flat bricks. Even though it’s a protected site, the minarets looks indanger of falling over at any time. These are worth a quick look if you’re in the station area, but I wouldn’t go out of the way to see them.

Brick minar is located outside platform no.1 of Ahmedabad railway station. People mistake it for Jhulta minar. The minars can fall at any point of time as not maintained however the entry is restricted.

Also known as the Shaking Minarets, they are playful but with a whir of quivering mystery. They have left the best of architects and pioneering design engineers intrigued and in unresolvable wonder. What they cannot unravel is when one minaret is shaken the other begins to vibrate, though the connecting passage between the two remains vibration-free; what causes this vibration is unknown. There are two well-known pairs of Shaking Minarets in Ahmedabad, one located opposite the Sarangpur Darwaja and the other near the Kalupur Railway Station Area. The one near Sarangpur Darwaja is within the vicinity of the Sidi Bashir Mosque built in 1452 AD by Sidi Bashir, a slave of Sultan Ahmed Shah. They are three storeys tall with carved balconies where visitors were once allowed to climb all the way up. The other set of minarets near the Railway Station is taller in height. However, these are not in a very good condition as it is believed that the British had dismantled them to understand the cause of vibrations. They could not resolve the engineering and it was not possible to put them back in their original condition. Demonstrations of the minarets shaking or vibrating are not carried out anymore.

Jhulta minarets is situated besides Kalupur railway terminus. I visited many times Kalupur Railway Terminus but never get attention towards this historical monuments. I think this monument require more attention, development and protection from authority and government. As of its importance its information should be mentioned on spot for tourist knowledge and historical awareness.
