Morbi Well Appears to Wave in Viral Video, Experts Offer Explanation

A clip that has gone viral on social media shows a water well in Morbi, Gujarat, with its opening appearing to move back and forth like a waving hand. The footage was captured from a nearby street and has attracted millions of views.
Scientists who examined the video explain that the motion is likely due to wind pushing water inside the well, creating a ripple effect that makes the opening seem to move. The well, built in the 19th century, is a popular local landmark.
Local residents reported that the phenomenon has been observed on windy days for years, but the recent video has brought it to national attention. Authorities have not issued any warnings, stating that the well remains safe for use.
