The Swinging Towers of Farkande (locally known as Jhulte Manore) are an unusual and fascinating architectural attraction located in the village of Farkande in Erandol taluka, Jalgaon district, Maharashtra.
The Swinging Towers of Farkande, also known as Jhulte Manore, are a historic architectural marvel located on the banks of the Utawadi River, approximately 16 km from Erandol in Jalgaon district, Maharashtra, India. Built around 250 years ago, with some estimates suggesting up to 500 years, the towers are a striking example of ancient engineering Originally two towers, both stood about 15 meters tall and exhibited a unique phenomenon: when one tower was swayed, the other would begin to oscillate in response, believed to be due to a coupled resonance mechanism through interconnected foundations.
One tower collapsed in 1991 due to neglect, leaving only a single standing tower today. The structure, associated with a small mosque, allows visitors to climb via narrow circular steps, offering a thrilling experience. The site is now undergoing archaeological restoration to revive its former glory and boost heritage tourism.
